LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Eleven Nebraska lawmakers will make a long-shot attempt to bring the Legislature into a special session focused on the coronavirus pandemic and law enforcement.
The lawmakers will file paperwork with the secretary of state’s office to ask their colleagues whether they would support a special session.
The secretary of state’s office will then survey all state lawmakers.
At least 33 of the Legislature’s 49 senators would have to endorse the idea of a special session, an outcome that’s extremely unlikely.
Lawmakers finished their regular session less than two weeks ago after passing a major tax package.
The session was also marred by nasty public disputes.
