BYLAWS

Adopted at the 2023 Delegate Assembly

The Legislation Committee of the Nebraska Association of School Boards (NASB) exists to formulate and advance the legislative goals and positions for the NASB member organizations.

The Chair of the Committee shall be the NASB Vice President.

The NASB Vice President shall appoint between four and eight additional board members to serve a one-year term. The NASB Board of Directors must vote to approve the appointments of the Vice President.

Sixteen members shall be members of NASB school boards or ESUs.

The Legislation Committee shall receive, consider, and act upon legislative resolution and position statement proposals submitted to it by member boards, staff, officers, and directors. Any proposal may be amended by action of the Legislation Committee, but no proposal shall advance from the Legislation Committee to the Board of Directors except on an affirmative vote of two-thirds of those members present and voting. 

The Legislation Committee shall also meet to provide advice, instructions, and interpretations of legislative resolutions to staff for use in legislative relations activities.

Student population will be used as a guide to group the 16 elected or appointed Legislation Committee seats. NASB Board of Directors may, by resolution, make adjustments to the Legislation Committee seats as necessary based on enrollment changes.

All terms shall commence at the end of the annual Delegate Assembly.
