Nebraska credit unions are proud to partner with leaders across Nebraska to protect families from fraud. By working alongside policymakers, law enforcement, and industry partners through the Fraud Free Nebraska Coalition, we’re turning advocacy into legislative action. These efforts are helping build safer communities and stronger protections for Nebraskans.
The new laws include:
• LB 838 - allows banks to contact a trusted person in suspected elder exploitation cases
• LB 1118 - requires social media platforms to verify advertisers and remove scam ads
• LB 965 - strengthens penalties for mail key and lock theft tied to identity theft and organized crime
The coalition brings together a powerful cross-sector alliance: Nebraska Credit Union League, Nebraska Department of Banking & Finance, the Nebraska Bankers Association, BBB, Governor Jim Pillen, Nebraska Independent Community Bankers, Nebraska Insurance Federation, Attorney General Mike Hilgers, AARP Nebraska, , Nebraska Department of Insurance and Douglas County Sheriff's Office - Aaron Hanson.
