Two States End 2026 Legislative Sessions, Passing Budget, Tax, and Policy Bills

In April 2026, Nebraska's legislative session ended with lawmakers passing several bills, including LB901, which provides $3 million in tax credits for agencies combating domestic violence and human trafficking, and LB1187, which raises brand inspection fees. Separately, in March 2026, Oregon's legislature adjourned its short session, passing bills addressing transportation funding, immigration protections, health care, and taxes. In Nebraska, lawmakers rejected attempts to override Gov. Jim Pillen's vetoes, including a veto of LB839, a housing accessibility requirement bill, according to Nebraska Public Media. They also passed LB1237, a Capitol security bill requiring visitors to pass through security screening. In Oregon, lawmakers passed SB 1507, which partially disconnects the state from the federal tax code to address a $311 million budget shortfall, and HB 4134, which increases lodging taxes to fund the state's Department of Fish and Wildlife, according to KGW. Both legislative sessions have concluded, with the enacted bills now in effect or pending implementation according to each state's respective timelines. No further legislative action was reported on the specific measures described. Details on implementation timelines for Nebraska's LB1237 security requirements and Oregon's SB 1507 tax provisions were not specified in available reporting, and no additional corroborating sources were available to confirm further specifics beyond what each single-state report described.
