State County Officials Seek Insane Exam Reform
Lincoln reports the State Association of County Commissioners will seek legislation to require examination of the insane across counties without taxpayer cost. The bill targets Douglas and Lancaster counties where fees have reached 100 to 200 in single cases, and aims to stop fake examinations. The association also plans laws on county assessor salaries, collection of road taxes, and county cards empowering lower courts to summon witnesses and impose penalties for contempt.
