LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - A bill aimed at redefining hemp in Nebraska was passed over Friday after failing to gain enough support from lawmakers. The final reading of LB 316, introduced by Sen. Kathleen Kauth of Omaha, was the last item on the agenda for the day. Lawmakers debated the bill for about two hours before Speaker of the Legislature John Arch passed over it. Sen. Brian Hardin of Gering told 10/11 this happened because Sen. Kauth didn’t have enough votes to invoke closure.
