Legal notice outlines two constitutional amendments on Nebraska ballots in November 1970. Amendment 1 proposes lowering the voting age to twenty. Amendment 2 calls for reapportioning Supreme Court judicial districts after every federal census with six fixed districts. Two positions, For and Against, accompany each proposal.
Proposed amendments would end the requirement to read each bill in full before final passage and would allow retired judges to serve temporarily on the Supreme Court. The measure details which provisions would be affected, including court composition and temporary assignments for district court judges.
Proposed measure would permit the University of Nebraska, state colleges, and the State Board of Education to issue revenue bonds to build or improve dormitories housing athletic facilities medical care facilities and parking. Bonds would be paid from facility revenues and not from estate tax revenues. earlier bonds could be ratified. The boards seek constitutional authority for such bonds, and opponents urge firm limits and legislative approval.
Proposed Amendment No 6 would remove the present constitutional cap on county property tax levies and allow higher levies by legislative action. It would authorize the State Legislature to set county mill levy limits, with voter approval no longer required to exceed the cap. Continued on Page 10.
