Laws 2025, LB341, § 1.
Plain-English Summary
Section 25-3108 assigns a short title. Sections 25-3108 to 25-3110 shall be known and cited as the Nebraska Statutory Thresholds for Settlements Involving Minors Act. Adopted in 2025 under Laws 2025, LB341, the Act is one of the newest additions to Chapter 25’s civil procedure statutes.
The Act sits alongside, rather than replacing, Nebraska’s existing guardianship and conservatorship procedures for handling a minor’s money. It gives families and their attorneys a faster, lower-cost path for smaller settlements, while leaving the county-court guardianship and conservatorship process available for anyone who wants a judge’s ongoing oversight of the settlement proceeds.
