Nebraska regulations: details

Copied from the Secretary of State’s rules site, through the read requests its own pages send, with the public chapter PDFs on October 21, 2026. Check the official page before you rely on a rule.

What is here

Nebraska: the Nebraska Administrative Code as the Secretary of State's rules site (rules.nebraska.gov) gave each chapter's page text through its own public read API on 2026-10-21, saved with the public chapter PDFs by GLO's desktop session and read by machine: GLO's reading of the page text, not an official or certified edition. 1,559 of the 1,920 chapter rows the site's public chapter lists give are served, from 230 titles, each a whole chapter (its sections are not split in this release), read alike by two readers with no shared code and checked against its public chapter PDF word for word as a multiset: up to three words (or 1 in 5,000) may still differ, and word order is not compared against the PDF. Release 2 (2026-10-24) serves 47 chapters Release 1 held for a table alone: each table row is one line, its cells in order between " | " (an empty cell left blank), read alike cell by cell by two further readers with no shared code and checked against the PDF as Release 1's are; a chapter whose table has a merged cell (a colspan or rowspan) stays held, since its cells would not line up with its columns. Release 3 (2026-10-24) serves 20 of those merged-cell chapters: each table row is one line with one position per column, a cell the page spans over two or more columns or rows written once, in the first position it covers, and the positions it covers after it left blank as an empty cell is, read alike by two further readers with no shared code and checked against the PDF; 3 whose spanning cells cross each other's columns (a split grid, whose rows would not line up) stay held. 361 rows are held, each by name with its reasons (counted once, by the first): an image (94), marked Repealed by the site (84), a table in a chapter held for another reason too (73), words that differ from the public chapter PDF (28), superscript or subscript (26), no chapter number (appendix or empty rows) (15), colored words (14), a long underlined run inside a sentence (10), struck-through words (8), a table whose spanning cells cross each other's columns (3), no chapter text (3), no public chapter PDF (2), an emergency row (1). The 54 rows the site's own list drops as Draft are not counted; emergency regulations and the proposed-rules docket were not saved. Each chapter carries its effective date and status as the site's row gives them and its PDF's address; underline, the publisher's style for section numbers and headings, is not kept. The key ("117 NAC 1") is GLO's form of the usual citation. Release 1's chapters were checked by hand on 20 drawn chapters, Release 2's tables on 10 and Release 3's on two draws of 10, against the PDF, so a fault rarer than about 1 in 7 chapters could remain unseen. Nothing here says a regulation is current or in force; check the chapter PDF or the Secretary of State before relying on it.
Release 1: 1,492 whole chapters from 227 titles, copied on October 21, 2026. Release 2 (October 24, 2026): 47 chapters Release 1 held for a table are now shown, each table row one line with its cells between “ | ”; 1,539 whole chapters were shown. Release 3 (October 24, 2026): 20 chapters whose tables have a merged cell are now shown, a spanning cell written once; 1,559 whole chapters from 230 titles are shown.
Of the 1,920 chapter rows the site lists, 361 are held and not shown, each with its reasons: mainly an image (94), marked Repealed by the site (84), a table in a chapter held for another reason too (73), a table whose spanning cells cross (3). A held row comes back as held, with its reasons and no text. Held is not absent.
The site says certified copies for legal purposes come from the Secretary of State’s office. What is shown here is our reading of the chapter text the site’s pages show, checked against the public chapter PDF the page offers. Each chapter carries that PDF’s address.
Each answer is a whole chapter, with its sections and Source lines as the page prints them, and the effective date and status the site’s row gives. Sections are not split in this release.
Look a chapter up as 117 NAC 1 (title 117, chapter 1). A section form such as 117 NAC 1-001 returns the whole chapter. 117 NAC lists the chapters of title 117: shown and held. A long chapter comes in pages.

How we checked it

Two separate readers, written with no shared code, read every chapter’s page text: one an HTML parser, one a set of text cuts. A chapter is shown only where both read the same words in the same order.
Each shown chapter’s words were checked against its public chapter PDF. Up to three words (or 1 in 5,000) may still differ. Word order is not compared against the PDF.
Release 2 shows chapters Release 1 held only for a table. Two further readers, again with no shared code, read each table’s rows and cells from the page; a chapter is shown only where they read every cell alike. A table with a merged cell (a cell spanning columns or rows) stays held. Before Release 2 was shown, 10 of its 47 chapters drawn at random were read row by row against their PDFs; all 10 matched.
Release 3 shows 20 chapters whose tables have a merged cell (a cell the page spans over two or more columns or rows). Two further readers, again with no shared code, lay out each table’s spans; each row has one position per column, a spanning cell written once in the first position it covers and the positions it covers after it left blank. A table whose spanning cells cross each other’s columns stays held (3 chapters). The first draw of 10 found one such table read wrongly; after that fix, a second draw of 10 chapters was read row by row against their PDFs and all 10 matched.
A chapter is held when the site marks it Repealed, when it carries a table, an image, struck-through or colored words, superscript or subscript, or a long underlined run inside a sentence, when its words and the PDF’s differ beyond that, or when the row has no chapter number, no text or no PDF.
Before release, we drew 20 shown chapters at random and read each one against its PDF: its opening and its close. All 20 matched.
One AI system wrote the readers, ran every check and made every reading and ruling, with no second reader.

What it can't tell you

Whether a regulation is in force, valid or current, or is good law.
Whether the effective date the site gives is the date the chapter took effect; it is shown as the site gives it.
What the held chapters say, or a difference of up to three words, or a moved word, between a shown chapter and its PDF.
Whether anything changed after the site’s answers were saved. Emergency regulations were not saved.

Known gaps

361 chapter rows are held, not shown; the largest groups are chapters with an image (94), chapters the site marks Repealed (84) and chapters with a table held for another reason too (73); 3 chapters whose table’s spanning cells cross are held.
A chapter is shown whole; its sections cannot be fetched one by one in this release.
Bold, italics, underline and indents are not kept; the text is the chapter’s words, one paragraph per line, and a table’s rows one line each with their cells between “ | ”.
The chapters were read by machine and checked by hand on 20 drawn chapters, so a fault rarer than about 1 in 7 chapters could remain unseen.
Keyword search reads only the shown chapters. Held rows have no text here and never match.

Notes you may see on an entry

A held row: “GLO holds this chapter and does not show its text, because its two readers, the PDF check or the release check did not clear it, or the site marks it Repealed. Its reasons are listed by name.”
A section asked for: “Sections are not split in this release, so the whole chapter is shown, with a note.”
A chapter not in this copy: “Not in this copy of Nebraska’s regulations, neither shown nor held by number. That never means the regulation does not exist.”
