Unicam Kids!: a Visit to Your Nebraska Legislature
UNICAM KIDS! A Visit to Your Nebraska Legislature guided by George W. Norris, “the father of the Unicameral” Unicam Kids i! I’m George Norris. I represented Nebraska in Congress from 1913 to 1943. Many people call me Hthe father of Nebraska’s Unicameral Legislature. A unicameral is a legislature with just one group of people to make laws. Nebraska has the nation’s only unicameral, which meets here at the Capitol in Lincoln to make laws for the state. I believed this one-house system would serve Nebraskans better than a bicameral, or two-house system, found in every other state. Nebraskans voted to change to a unicameral in 1934, and the first unicameral met in 1937. Let’s go inside. I’ll show you around! Nebraska is unique for its unicameral and also its unusual Capitol building. Architect Bertram Goodhue wanted the Capitol’s design to reflect the spirit of Nebraska’s people. The words and pictures on the outside of the building show Nebraska’s place in the history of law and democracy. The Capitol took 10 years to build and was finished in 1932. The tower rises almost 400 feet and is topped by a 19-foot bronze statue of a man tossing seeds, called “The Sower.” — 1 — A Visit to Your Nebraska Legislature y experience as a lawmaker made me wish for a smoother processM to make laws. I encour- aged Nebraskans to vote for a new, smaller legislature so the process would be simpler and allow for more public input. Some Nebraskans worried about becoming the only unicameral.

Transcript Prepared by Clerk of the Legislature Transcribers Office Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee January 27, 2021 Rough Draft Does not include written testimony submitted prior to the public hearing per our COVID-19 Response protocol BREWER: Good morning, welcome, welcome to the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. I am Senator Tom Brewer from Gordon, Nebraska, representing the 43rd Legislative District. I serve as the Chair of this committee. Because of the COVID situation, we're going to go through a number of COVID specific things and then we'll get into the Government Committee intro here. For the safety of our committee members, staff, pages, and the public, we ask those attending our hearing to abide by the following procedures. Due to social distancing requirements, seating in the hearing room is limited, very limited. We ask that you only enter the hearing room when it is necessary for you to attend your hearing. The bills will be taken up as posted outside the hearing on the wall. The list will be updated after each hearing to identify which bill is the current bill up, so the number will be up there and then the pages will then post outside. The committees will pause between each bill to allow enough time for the public to move in and move out. Keep in mind that after each testifier, we'll need a slight delay in order to clean the table, clean the chair. So just understand we'll have some pauses. But those pauses are not for senators to start talking because the mikes will be on and it will still be getting recorded.

Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District Legislative Update Thursday, July 9, 2020
Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District Legislative Update Thursday, July 9, 2020 The Nebraska Legislature is set to reconvene on Monday, July 20 to complete the final 17 days of session after being abruptly paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaker Jim Scheer has made it clear that he is committed to ensuring prioritized bills that have advanced from committee will receive time on the floor when the Legislature reconvenes on July 20. This includes any of the approximately 15 priority bills still in committee, which will receive time on the floor should they advance during the resumption of session. The last possible day for bills to advance bills from General File and ensure passage before the session ends is Day 14 (Friday, August 6) and the last possible day to advance bills from Select File and ensure passage is Day 15 (Tuesday, August 11). Due to the pandemic, the Nebraska Economic Forecasting Board will hold a special meeting on July 23, which will give senators more information about the amount of money available for priority bills as well as any needed additional amendments to the budget adjustment bills currently on Select File. Amendments to address the COVID-19 pandemic, police reform, or other topics will be permitted. If the content of the amendment was previously heard in a hearing, there will be no need for a new hearing. If it is new material, however, the committee will need to hold a public hearing to allow time for citizens to weigh in on the proposal. Speaker Scheer stated during a recent Platte Institute Webinar that there is enough time during the return to session for such hearings.
