The Unicameral General Affairs Committee passed LR3CA by a 5-2 vote on the 10th day of the special legislative session. Lawmakers were called back to the Lincoln capital by Gov. Jim Pillen (R) to come up with ways to reduce property taxes.

LR3CA is a proposed legislative referendum. For the 49 elected senators in Nebraska to authorize online sports betting, they must first gain electorate support to amend the state constitution to allow such gambling.
