Voters in the May primary will decide on a proposed Nebraska amendment adding Sec 18 to Article XV. It allows state or local governments to exercise powers or finance jointly with other entities, within or outside the state, unless the Legislature provides otherwise by law.
Nebraska legislators present multiple constitutional amendments including repealing obsolete sections from Article XV and revising Article XVII, plus changes to Article VI defining elector qualifications and voting procedures. Proposals cover county and municipal financing, corporation regulation, voting methods, and residency requirements with multiple sections repealed or amended.
Ballot text presents a choice For or Against Amendment No 16. It would allow state receipt of federal funds for services to students in parochial or private schools with no required matching from public funds and outline general funding limits and ownership controls. The opposing position would keep the current ban on federal funds for such services and prohibit using state or local funds to leverage any federal grant.
The document proposes amending sections 1 4 and 5 and repealing sections 2 3 7 8 and 11 of the Constitution to include appointed members in terms for the Legislature and to set the next general election date as the Tuesday after the first Monday in November 1914 with future biennial elections, outlining elective offices affected.
The notice states that a FOR vote on Amendment No 13 will revise constitutional language on the militia without substantive changes and retain current militia provisions. It discusses capturing provisions of Section I and indicates timing around a primary election.
The amendment proposes to relax residency requirements for electors by letting the Legislature define proper residency. It eliminates the ban on military duty during election day. It adds authority to use voting machines or non paper voting methods. It repeals a provision about armed forces stationed in Nebraska not being residents.
The constitution prohibits using public funds for privately owned or sectarian schools and bars sectarian instruction. It permits receiving federal funds and distributing them under grant terms, but prohibits adding public funds of the state or subdivisions to such money. No religious tests for teachers or students in public or tax financed institutions.
