From the Omaha World-Herald:
A bill banning job discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is back on the front burner in the Nebraska Legislature.
The measure, patterned after an anti-bias ordinance in Omaha, appeared dead in February. But after a change of heart, a state legislative committee advanced Legislative Bill 485 to debate by the full Legislature.
“It’s a good day for equal rights,” said Lincoln Sen. Danielle Conrad, sponsor of the anti-bias bill.
