Almost any decision the Legislature makes will affect many, if not most voters. They are the law makers.
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. Special committees can be created as needed. The Legislature has a lot of power but is limited by what laws are managed locally at city and county level. (Page 16 Nebraska Constitution) They also do not have authority over schools. They do have authority to act in an emergency if there is an international enemy attack.
