Plain-English Summary
Rather than redefine the same terms twice, section 25-3006 points back. For purposes of sections 25-3005 to 25-3010 — the Civil Legal Services Program — the definitions found in section 25-3001 apply. That means “eligible low-income person,” “service area,” and “service provider” carry the same meaning here as they do in the earlier Legal Aid and Services Fund program.
This keeps the two programs speaking the same language even though the Legislature created them years apart and funded them through different statutes and different funds. A person, area, or provider that qualifies under one program’s definitions qualifies under the other’s as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Civil Legal Services Program have its own separate definitions?
No. Section 25-3006 applies the definitions already found in section 25-3001 rather than restating new ones.
Where do the definitions used in sections 25-3005 to 25-3010 come from?
From section 25-3001, which defines eligible low-income person, service area, and service provider for the original legal aid program.
Why does Nebraska reuse the same definitions across two programs?
To keep eligibility standards consistent between the Legal Aid and Services Fund program and the later Civil Legal Services Program, even though they were created separately.
What terms carry over from section 25-3001?
Eligible low-income person, service area, and service provider.
