Proposed amendment would protect disabled Nebraskans’ access to public places and care

The proposed amendment would state that people with disabilities have rights to access public facilities, lodging, transportation, and health care services and supports, and that the state and its local governments may not deny or infringe those rights. The stated rights would apply regardless of a person’s age, degree of disability, or stage of life. Health care services and supports would need to be complete enough to meet people’s needs and support their participation in community life.

The proposed amendment would go to voters for approval or rejection. Nebraska voters would decide whether to approve the proposed amendment. Voter approval would be needed to amend the state constitution. The proposed vote would take place with the May 2026 statewide primary.
