Task force or study body None found
No digital assets, blockchain or crypto task force, commission or study committee found. We searched: Web searches for Nebraska blockchain/fintech/digital asset task force, working group, study committee, legislative resolution (LR), plus the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance (NDBF) Financial Innovation Act page (no task force mentioned). Found only interim study resolutions: LR 432 (108th Leg., introduced Mar 26, 2024; interim study on effects of digital asset data mining on public power districts and ratepayers; referred to Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee; no votes shown) and LR 364 (2022, insurtech regulatory sandbox study; not crypto).
No standing crypto task force found. LR 432 is a legislative study request, not a confirmed task force; we saw no evidence it was adopted or produced a report.
Bitcoin or digital asset reserve law None found
No Nebraska bitcoin/digital-asset reserve or state-funds investment bill found in 2025-2026. NCSL's 2026 legislation page lists no Nebraska reserve bills (only L 717 money transmitters, L 1096 and L 1111 pending). Searches for a Nebraska reserve bill returned nothing Nebraska-specific.
