Senator Megan Hunt: LB274 Hearing - Ensuring Child Safety & Enhancing Childcare Center Regulations
No parent should have to go through what the Johnson family endured when their baby was injured at daycare-only to find out the provider had no liability insurance. LB 274 ensures that childcare providers maintain their required coverage, so families aren’t left without options when the worst happens. In this video, I introduce LB 274 in the Health and Human Services Committee, explain why this change is needed, and highlight the real-life consequences of weak enforcement. Let’s put children and families first.

Senator Megan Hunt Challenges the Pattern of Overreach & Mismanagement
Переглядів 1264 години тому
Our job as lawmakers is to provide oversight, not just wave through appointments with no questions asked. Nebraskans deserve a government that is transparent and accountable-not one that hides information and evades oversight. Lee Will’s appointment as Director of DAS is just another example of the executive branch expecting us to rubber-stamp their decisions without real scrutiny. We didn’t ge...
Senator Megan Hunt: LB33 Hearing - Updating Nebraska's Outdated N.A. Beer Laws
Переглядів 477 годин тому
Did you know that Nebraska is one of only seven states that still classifies non-alcoholic beer as “near beer” and regulates it the same way as regular alcohol? That means small businesses have to jump through hoops just to sell a beverage with less alcohol than a ripe banana. This outdated rule forces small businesses to pay unnecessary fees, limits consumer choice, and creates barriers for pe...
Senator Megan Hunt: LB34 Hearing - Establish Permanent Daylight Saving Time
Переглядів 8614 годин тому
LB34 would put Nebraska on permanent daylight saving time. This is an issue I consistently hear about from Nebraskans, and while there are strong opinions on both sides, one thing is clear: people are tired of changing their clocks twice a year. Studies suggest permanent DST could boost economic activity by increasing consumer spending during those extra daylight hours after work. While I perso...
Senator Megan Hunt: LB165 Hearing - Powerful Case for Syringe Service Programs (SSPs)
Переглядів 4619 годин тому
Last year, LB165 passed with overwhelming support, but the governor vetoed it. This year, we’re back, because Nebraska cannot afford to fall further behind in addressing public health crises. Syringe service programs don’t just provide clean needles-they connect people to treatment, reduce overdoses, and prevent costly diseases like HIV and Hepatitis C. These programs make our communities safer...
Senator Megan Hunt defends workers and small business owners in debate to increase sales taxes
Переглядів 2025 місяців тому
It’s been a long week of long days in the legislature as the pressure mounts to come to a compromise across progressive and conservative, urban and rural lines to find workable solutions for property tax relief for Nebraskans. I have been firm and consistent in my view that raising sales taxes, especially without targeted property tax relief to working class Nebraskans and owner occupied homeow...

Governor Pillen's tax plan will burden Nebraska's working families. People from across the state have united across urban and rural lines to protect our communities and stop this harmful policy in its tracks. This scheme would enrich the wealthy at the expense of our schools and families.
Senator Megan Hunt Denounces Secretive Tactics and Procedural Violations in Special Session
Переглядів 2,9 тис.5 місяців тому
This special session is nothing short of taxpayer-funded playtime, utterly lacking in accountability and transparency. Secret meetings, procedural violations, and backroom deals have compromised the integrity of the legislative process. These intentional actions demonstrate a blatant disrespect for Nebraskans and the Legislature's authority. The governor’s overreach, treating the Legislature as...
