IMAGINE NEBRASKA ACT

On August 17, 2020, Governor Pete Ricketts, signed into law Legislative Bill 1107, which includes a new business tax incentive program called the ImagiNE Nebraska Act. The ImagiNE Nebraska Act replaces the Nebraska Advantage Act (“LB312”) effective January 1, 2021. All existing Nebraska Advantage Act project applications filed through the end of 2020 will continue per the terms of the Nebraska Advantage Act. However, no new Nebraska Advantage Act application will be accepted after December 31, 2020.  

The ImagiNE Nebraska Act is similar to the Nebraska Advantage Act but updated to encourage high-wage jobs, promote investment in distressed and rural areas, simplify administrative requirements, and allow for more transparency and accountability.  

Applications are no longer accepted for the Nebraska Advantage Act.
