(KLZA)-- Nebraska First District State Senator Julie Slama will continue to serve as Chairman of the Nebraska Legislatures Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee this year. In addition, she will continue to serve on the Executive Board and the Natural Resources Committee.
In her weekly report to her Southeast Nebraska constituents, Slama notes she will not support a rules Package in the Legislature that does not contain a public vote on committee chairs, noting her feelings that the votes should not be secret.
Slama also noted that she is co-sponsoring LB 575 with Senator Kathleen Kauth which would establish the Sports and Spaces Act. The legislation would provide protections for single-sex spaces, such as girl's bathrooms and changing rooms. The bill also seeks to prohibit the participation of biological males in K-12 athletics designated for biological females and would prohibit biological females from competing in interscholastic K-12 athletics designated for males, with the exception that biological females may compete in interscholastic athletics with biological males where no opportunity to compete with biological females exists.
Senator Slama can be reached at the State Capitol, PO Box 94604 in Lincoln, by calling her at 402-471-2733 or email at jslama@leg.ne.gov.
