Nebraska voters will decide on a veto referendum for a private education scholarship program on Nov. 5. Voters will decide whether to uphold or repeal provisions of Legislative Bill 1402 (LB 1402).
LB 1402 would authorize the state treasurer to administer an education scholarship program with a $10 million budget beginning in the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The program would provide scholarships to eligible students, covering all or part of the cost of attending any accredited non-governmental private elementary or secondary school in the state. The law would prioritize students based on household income.
