LINCOLN- Attorney General Mike Hilgers announced his 2024 legislative priorities alongside a trio of state senators introducing legislation including Greater Nebraska’s Teresa Ibach and District 25 state senator Carolyn Bosn, and District 18 state senator Christy Armendariz. According to a press release, the bills focus on strengthening the protections for vulnerable Nebraskans from exploitation.

The first bill, sponsored by Sen. Bosn, will strengthen the ability of the Attorney General to protect Nebraskans who have been financially exploited. The second bill, sponsored by Sen. Ibach, will make substantial modifications to the Nebraska Hemp Farming Act to limit a perceived loophole for Delta 8 and related products. The third and final bill, sponsored by Sen. Armendariz, is critical legislation to combat child exploitation and human trafficking online.

“Our office works tirelessly to protect vulnerable Nebraskans. The tools in these bills will help protect Nebraskans, including trafficking victims and children, from exploitation. I am grateful for the senators for introducing these bills, and look forward to working with the Legislature to pass these common-sense bills that will do enormous good for Nebraskans’ health and well-being., said AG Hilgers.
