Simply stated in Article III-30 of the Nebraska Constitution, The Legislature shall pass all laws necessary to carry into effect the provisions of this constitution. The list of standing committees reveals the categories in which bills are created, discussed and some eventually become laws. Agriculture, Appropriations, Banking, Commerce and Insurance, Business and Labor, Education, General Affairs, Government, Military and Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services, Judiciary, Natural Resources, Nebraska Retirement Systems, Revenue, Transportation and Telecommunications, and Urban Affairs.
