2010 Bills in the Nebraska Legislature

GASP is proposing the following legislation for the 2010 session and for cities and counties in Nebraska to adopt. Two of them, No Smoking In Cars With Minors REQ00036 (2009 Legislative Bill 93) and Fire Safer Cigarettes REQ00015 (2009 Legislative Bill 198) were introduced in slightly different forms in 2009. The No Smoking in Cars With Minors (LB93) has been killed in the Transportation Committee and LB198 is a priority bill and will probably be passed by the senators.
