What this law does
No publicly funded college or university in Nebraska may, as part of the student application and admission process for disciplines not requiring licensure or clinical or field placements, inquire about or consider an applicant's criminal history or juvenile court record information. The bar does not prohibit an inquiry or consideration to the extent required by state or federal law or when an applicant voluntarily submits the information.
The section does not reach inquiries or consideration occurring after the application and admission process as part of a professional licensure process or an academically required clinical or field placement, or in any application or other process relating to student housing or an athletic program.
