Nebraska would shift probation service costs to the state

The state would pay listed expenses for providing probation services. The expenses include district offices, office space and facilities for probation staff, staff salaries and travel, and related technology services. The state would pay these costs with money appropriated to the Supreme Court for that purpose. County officials would work with the State Court Administrator to coordinate the transition. The State Court Administrator would choose an implementation date between July 1, 2026, and July 1, 2027. State payment would begin on that date.
