参议员 第三区Carol Blood

LB15： 只要设备和服务的成本不超过公司收取的总保费的百分之一，保险公司将要求为没有被保险的儿童承保助听器和助听器的安装与维修。

LB115： 这项法律规定，如果一个军人家庭打算搬到内布拉斯加州，并且有一个孩子要在这里上公立小学，他们可以在实际建立居住权之前就开始入学程序。换句话说，它确保军人家庭的孩子不必因为繁文tape节而坐着一个学期就等，也不必错过与课程或课外活动有关的机会。

LB7： 定义什么是可以安装在您的汽车中的安全气囊，并在个人或公司故意安装假冒安全气囊时产生处罚。在全国各地，犯罪分子从字面上替换了一个安全气囊，里面装满了乱七八糟的废料。如果发生事故并且使用了这些假冒安全气囊，则可能会严重伤害甚至死亡人员。最重要的是，它让坏蛋负责并保护不知情的消费者。

LR14CA： 将更改《内布拉斯加州宪法》中有关税收增量融资（TIF）的现有语言。目前，奥马哈的TIF都是一样的。无论是在北奥马哈还是在72nd和Dodge进行投资，开发商都可以享受TIF的经济利益。拟议的变更将把TIF的还款期限从15年延长至20年，但前提是该项目的50％以上位于被宣布为“严重受损”的地区。由于宪法规定15年的限制，因此我们没有办法在不先更改现行宪法语言的情况下将TIF的还款期限从15年延长至20年。
