| SC | SENATE override line item veto Nos. 2. 06/2002 | P-12
Postsec. | Requires funding equal to 1994-95 appropriation to be appropriated to the state department annually to offset any reduction suffered by districts due to a change in the distribution of employee contribution funds. Provides that in the event of an EIA revenue shortfall, lapsed funds remaining after EIA purposes must be distributed to districts for funding buildings and exempts EIA appropriations for teacher salaries and benefits from reductions to offset an official EIA revenue shortfall. Requires state board to establish a task force comprised of superintendents, principals, teachers, parents, school board members, and representatives of business and industry, including tourism-related industries no later than July 1, 2002. This task force to the extent possible is to be equally divided among proponents of existing or earlier starting dates for schools, proponents of later starting dates for schools, including proponents for dates after Labor Day, and persons who legitimately have no preferences. Also requires districts to provide advanced placement courses in all secondary schools which enroll an adequate number of academically talented students to support the course. Part II concerns public higher education: Each four-year campus of each state-supported public institution of higher learning must have equal representation on all formal and informal councils, advisory groups, committees, and task forces of the commission. Independent four-year colleges must have representation on all formal and informal committees and commissions dealing with higher education statewide issues. Also addresses instate tuition for certain students. Beginning with school year 2002-2003, the annual amount of a LIFE Scholarship for eligible resident students attending a four-year independent institution must be the cost of attendance up to a maximum of the average annual cost of tuition at the state's four-year public institutions of higher learning in the corresponding academic year. In addition, beginning with school year 2002-2003, eligible resident students attending two-year independent institutions may not receive an annual LIFE scholarship of more than the maximum cost of tuition at two-year regional public institutions for thirty credit hours a year or its equivalent."

| NE | Signed into law 04/2002 | P-12 | LB 1172 is the Public Elementary and Secondary Student Fee Authorization Act. The act provides that a school or an educational
service unit (ESU) may collect fees or require students to provide equipment or attire for the following purposes: extracurricular
activities; admission fees for spectators at extracurricular activities and transportation charges for participants; certain postsecondary
education costs; certain transportation costs; reproduction costs for students files or records; reimbursement for damaged or lost
property; before and after school or prekindergarten services; summer school or night school; and breakfast and lunch programs.
Students may be required to furnish certain personal or consumable items and clothing for specified courses and activities. A school
store may be operated. Schools may require students to furnish musical instruments for optional music courses that are not
extracurricular activities, if the use of an instrument is provided free of charge for students qualifying for free or reduced price lunches.
Current law allowing a fee for eye protective devices is rewritten to require schools to provide the devices free of charge.
Entities charging fees pursuant to the act are required to have a policy to waive fees for students who qualify for free or reduced-price
lunches. School boards must annually hold a public hearing on the student fee policy and adopt a policy to be published in the student
handbook. A student fee fund shall be established to deposit fees received from extracurricular activities, postsecondary education
costs and summer and night school costs. Fees deposited into the fund shall be used for the purposes for which they were collected. http://www.unicam.state.ne.us/Legal/SLIP_LB1172.pdf

| NE | GOVERNOR'S veto overridden by LEGISLATURE. 04/2002 | P-12 | LB 898's intent is to help address the budget shortfall facing Nebraska for the current biennium. LB 898 would increase the local effort rate for FY 2002-03 and beyond, so that it is only seven and one-half cents below the maximum levy, rather than ten cents. Currently, the local effort rate under a one-dollar maximum levy would be ninety cents. LB 898 increases the local effort rate to ninety-two and one-half cents. LB 898 reduces state appropriations by approximately $20.5 million. The bill also allows school districts to exceed the levy limitation with a three-fourths majority vote of the school board by an amount that is the difference between the amount of state aid that would have been provided without the changes made in LB 898.
