Nebraska lawmakers adjourn for year after banning gender surgery for minors, abortion
Fox News
After nearly every bill brought before Nebraska lawmakers was filibustered during a particularly contentious session, the state's lawmakers adjourned for the year on June 1, 2023.
The effort greatly slowed the work of the Legislature, leading to long days that saw debate routinely stretch into the evening hours and forced leaders to attach bills as amendments in order to get legislation passed.
The tactic appears to have worked.
Speaker of the Legislature Sen. John Arch announced before adjournment Thursday that using the so-called "Christmas tree" bills, lawmakers passed 291 pieces of legislation out of more than 800 bills introduced. That's compared to 281 bills passed in the last 90-day session in 2021.
