LINCOLN, Neb. Three bills related to Nebraska’s brand law are set to be heard by the Legislature’s Agriculture Committee on the afternoon of Feb. 9. Because of COVID restrictions, testimony on the bills can be offered in several ways, (see the end of the article for details).
Two of the bills, LB 571 and LB 572 were introduced by Sen. Steve Halloran, who chairs the legislature’s agriculture committee. His legislation comes on the heels of the impasse with the two brand bills heard by his committee last spring.
With that experience fresh in his mind, Halloran hosted the LR 378 interim study and invited industry stakeholders to weigh in over the course of four meetings last fall. Halloran’s intention behind LR 378 was reaching a consensus with the stakeholders, which could provide solutions to the litigation and legislation that’s been directed at the Nebraska Brand Committee in recent years. Halloran’s bills are, in-part, a product of those meetings

ALLIANCE, Neb. A Box Butte County District Court Judge has denied a motion by the Nebraska Brand Committee to dismiss a lawsuit against it by the state’s largest cattle feeder.
The Brand Committee, represented by Assistant Attorney General Joshua Dethlefsen, had moved to dismiss the lawsuit on grounds that the plaintiffs, Broken Bow-based Adams Land and Cattle Co., had failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.
In an order filed on Dec. 23, Judge Travis O’Gorman wrote that under the Nebraska court rules of pleading in civil cases, “to prevail on a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, a plaintiff must allege sufficient facts to state a claim for relief that is plausible on its face.”
