Great news this morning! State Senators voted to extend the Nebraska Prenatal Plus Program to ensure future expecting moms at risk can continue to receive support to prevent adverse birth outcomes.
#AM2977, introduced by State Senator George Dungan, amended provisions in #LB773 into #LB958, which was then advanced to Final Reading. The amendment removes the sunset on the Prenatal Plus Program, clarifies the number of breastfeeding sessions and extends reporting on the efficacy of Prenatal Plus until 2034.
Babies born prematurely or with low birth weight face an increased risk of serious health challenges, both at birth and throughout their lives. Thank you Senator Dungan for introducing #LB857 to create Prenatal Plus in 2024 and LB773/AM2977 to extend it!

@GovRicketts #LB773 would have eliminated the 8 hrs of classroom and range proficiency required by the State Patrol to qualify for a permit. That's barely enough to scratch the surface of the training necessary to make a life or death split second decision in using lethal force. /5
I realize that this is asking too much, but can we please go a single day without our elected leaders (specifically @GovRicketts) saying something just asininely stupid that makes the entire state look like a bunch of backassward idiots?
Today's gem was about #LB773 failing. /1

If "personal safety" was the rationale for unpermitted concealed carry, wouldn't those same people want COVID protection?
Seems "safety" as a policy ought to be uniform. Don't pretend it's about "safety".
If more guns = safety, America must be the safest place on Earth.
#lb773 "If the chair doesn't like your bill, it won't get out of committee"
Quite a statement when committees number 8 and there are, I presume, 8 votes.
I don't think the Chair's authority is more heavily weighted compared to other committee members.
Not the military.
#lb773 What else is tiresome is the assumption that a two-house system would have passed this "in 15 minutes", and other demeaning statements about a Unicameral system.
The silence of the supposed "majority" during debate does not imply support. All it means is that the only strong feeling expressed in debate is running against this bill. As few but the sponsor spoke in favor, Nebraska can get the impression this is not popular.

Bless @JenDayforNE for researching what her district residents actually think of #LB773.
Also mentions Pew Research, the well-known and -respected fact tank. Non-partisan.
@JenDayforNE Thank you for your opposition to #LB773! If polling was done specifically in NE I feel like it would mirror the national polling. Let's not make NE less safe by passing this dangerous legislation. #neleg #nopermitlesscarry #nemomsdemandaction @MomsDemand

"Nebraska, you see why the rules are made to be broken".
(Certainly "my way or the highway" has been put to music with that title).
Pull motions - because they subvert the committee vetting process, usually have writing problems that can make their passage difficult and ultimately lead to their Constitutional failure.

When pointed out that cars can kill, too, and those must be permitted, the reply was "cars were not embedded in our Constitution" is almost an admission as to the problem of context in history and relevance of the Constitution,
Things aren’t as black and white as the #gop would lead you to believe. You can in fact be #pro2A and support #commonsensegunlegislation. Divisive politics keeps the fires stoked and keeps #gop in office #neleg #nopermitlesscarry #LB773 @MomsDemand #nemomsdemandaction
Our #neleg Senators who are speaking and voting in opposition to #LB773 will likely receive the same threats. Please show your support for the important work they are doing to #keepnebraskanssafe @MomsDemand #nopermitlesscarry #nemomsdemandaction
Gun extremists on Facebook very excited about Maryland’s ghost guns ban.

Annoying to hear over and over "things will change next year based on how Senators vote on this, there will be new faces that will pass this"
So certain are you.
I lived out in the “real world” of rural KS while I was growing up. I can assure you that obtaining a permit to carry a concealed weapon is not an undue burden on the good people of the “real world” #neleg #LB773 #nopermitlesscarry @TomBrewerForNe @MomsDemand #nemomsdemandaction
“Hyper vigilance is not safety.” You could not me more right! @NebraskaMegan #LB773 #neleg #nopermitlesscarry @MomsDemand #nemomsdemandaction
