26 August 2020 :

LB 238 passed the state’s unicameral legislature on August 13, 2020 by a vote of 27-10 with 12 members present but not voting. The bill would allow witnesses to see the execution from the moment the prisoner enters the death chamber until the prisoner is declared dead or the execution is halted.
