Nebraska senators split over LB400 as debate ends with amendment adoption
The Nebraska Legislature spent floor time debating LB400, which would create a rebuttable presumption that certain cancers in firefighters arose from employment. Supporters cited science and efficiency; opponents warned of an unfunded mandate and litigation costs. The body adopted committee clarifications (AM 16‑96) and voted to end extended debate.
