🎉LB855 passed today as a part of LB1329! This bill will ban Nebraska school districts from using debt collection agencies for unpaid school meal debt, shielding families from having to deal with collection agencies. Thank you to Sen. Danielle Conrad for sponsoring this bill!

🥳 LB358 just PASSED in the #NEleg ! This bill increases reimburs. rates for Medicaid dental services. Increased provider rates is linked to increased provider participation in the Medicaid program, and therefore increased enrollee access to dental services. Thank you Lynne Walz!

🥳PASSED: LB233! It reduces the child support penalty in Nebraska’s ADC program, meaning child support funds will actually be used to support kids in Nebraska’s lowest income families starting in 2027. Thank you Senator John Cavanaugh, we look forward to the Gov. signing this into law!

🎉 Today LB62 passed on final reading! Language services are critical to ensuring access to health care! Thank you to Senator Machaela Cavanaugh for sponsoring this bill–be sure to thank your senator for their support as well! bit.ly/NElegSenator

We're proud to have played a role in getting 150,000 NE kids Summer EBT grocery benefits this year. We hope our Nebraska example is one the rest of the country looks to when putting kids first. Thanks again to all the advocates & youth who made it happen!
