Governor Will Call Legislature Back Into Session in Late July
Governor Jim Pillen expressed his dissatisfaction with the Nebraska Legislature at the end of the 2024 regular session.
“Nebraskans across the state have made clear that they expect state leaders to solve the property tax crisis,” said Governor Pillen. “While we are counting on the Legislature to develop the right solution, all Nebraskans must be part of this conversation. The Legislature failed to pass any property tax relief in the regular session but we will finish the job in a special session.”
Even before the end of the session, the governor threatened to hold a special session if his tax package was not passed. On Wednesday, May 1, 2024, a statement from the governor’s office confirmed his intention to call the legislature back into session, “anticipated to commence in late July.”
In addition, Governor Pillen recently kicked off a summer-long, statewide series of town halls focused on Nebraska property taxes with a stop in Bellevue. The event occurred Friday afternoon, May 3, hosted at Criss Auditorium at Bellevue University.
