You score points for landing blows. Generally, it’s the cumulative impact of those blows that result in a knockout. The point is, you have to make contact to win.” Q. Why am I here? A. State senators make decisions that impact your well-being. If senators don’t know you or understand your issues, how are they to know what actions help or harm you? You’re here to make your issues “real” to them by making personal contact and providing them information that can help influence their decisions. Q. What is the goal for today? A. Today we’re going to: • Learn how to effectively advocate. • Put what we learn into action. • Have a fun day at the Capitol while making a difference for agriculture. Q. What can I expect to have done once the day is finished? A. You most likely will have: • Observed the Legislature in session. • Watched part of a legislative hearing. • Met with your state senator and other senators as available to advocate on an issue. • Draft and send a brief letter to your senator and the Governor on an issue. • Toured the Capitol. • Visited with Farm Bureau staff on key legislative issues. • Gotten to know fellow Farm Bureau members better. • Helped Nebraska Farm Bureau’s lobbying efforts. • Continue to help be an advocate for agriculture. www.nefb.org 1 ABOUT THE UNICAMERAL HISTORY OF THE NEBRASKA UNICAMERAL The Nebraska Legislature is unique among all state legislatures in the nation because it has a single-house system. It wasn’t always a unicameral, however. THE BIRTH OF THE UNICAMERAL George Norris, a “New Deal Republican” who settled in McCook, wore out two sets of tires while he drove throughout the state campaigning for the unicameralism. He said the two-house system was outdated, inefficient, and unnecessary. Norris’s influence, the Depression, and the other ballot issues summoned enough supporters for an overwhelming decision to make Nebraska the only one-house legislature in the country. The vote was 286,086 for and 193,152 against a unicameral system. MORE EFFICIENT Implementation of the unicameral legislature in 1937 cut government costs for obvious reasons. Legislative membership went from 133 in the bicameral to 43 in the new single house - nearly a 70 percent reduction. Also, the one-house system was more efficient than its predecessor. The number of committees was pared down from 61 to 18, and 581 bills were introduced in 1937, as opposed to twice that many the previous session. The last bicameral session in 1935 ran 110 days, passed 192 bills and cost $202,593. The first unicameral session two years later ran 98 days, passed 214 bills and cost $103,445. NONPARTISAN BODY Another unique aspect of the Nebraska Legislature is its nonpartisanship. Before becoming a unicameral, the Nebraska Legislature was a partisan body. The change to nonpartisanship was included in the successful 1934 unicameral amendment. Being a nonpartisan legislature means that a candidate’s political party is not listed on the election ballot. The two candidates who obtain the most votes in the primary election face each other in the general election. In other states, each party selects a winner in the primary, and the winners of each party run against each other in the general election. Unlike other states, Nebraska’s legislative leadership is not based on party affiliation. 2 www.nefb.org ABOUT THE UNICAMERAL HOW LAWS ARE MADE IN THE UNICAMERAL 1 BILL INTRODUCTION COMMITTEES 2 ADVANCE HOLD FAIL 3 GENERAL FILE ADVANCE AMEND FAIL SELECT FILE 4 ADVANCE AMEND FAIL 5 FINAL READING PASS FAIL GOVERNOR 6 DECLINE SIGN VETO TO SIGN LAWS OF NEBRASKA VETO VETO OVERRIDE SUSTAINED www.nefb.org 3 ABOUT THE UNICAMERAL STATE SENATORS Sen.

  • 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.

For the safety of our committee members, staff, pages, and the public, we ask those attending our hearing to abide by the following procedures.

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.
