On February 1, the Nebraska Senate Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee heard LB 757. All of the testimony was favorable, and it may receive a committee vote in a few days. The bill says that when a party passes the 5% vote test, it then remains on the ballot for four years, not just two years.

A very similar bill in Utah, HB 233, has a hearing on Thursday, February 2, in the House Government Operations Committee.
