MCCOY: It just merely says that if we’re going to change the protected classes … we need to come to the Capitol to do it so that it’s consistent across the state.
So he has introduced to a bill (lb 912) to ban and prevent municipalities across the state from creating any nondiscrimination protections, while failing to introduced a statewide bill that would add those items to the state nondiscrimination protections.
So in other words He doesn’t want the cities to out do his sorry ass.
He doesn’t what to protect those who need these protections. He is basically doing what Tennessee did where they invalidated LGBT protections that were passed in Nashville.

Just in case you would like to send a email expressing your concern or outrage.
Here is what's in the bill,
LB912 includes the following language:
Sec. 3. (1) It is the purpose of this section to improve
intrastate commerce by ensuring that no county, municipality, or
other political subdivision will subject businesses, organizations,
or employers operating in Nebraska to varied and nonuniform protected
classifications in nondiscrimination laws, ordinances, resolutions,
rules, or policies. Further, it is the purpose of this section to
focus and thereby improve the effectiveness of the efforts of
counties, municipalities, or other political subdivisions to punish
and eliminate discrimination based on the protected classifications
identified in laws enacted by the Legislature.
(2) A county, municipality, or other political
subdivision shall not adopt or enforce a local law, ordinance,
resolution, rule, or policy that creates a protected classification
unless such classification is contained in the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act, the Nebraska Fair Employment Practice Act, the
Nebraska Fair Housing Act, or sections 20-126 to 20-143 or 48-1219 to
48-1227. This subsection does not apply to a law, ordinance,
resolution, rule, or policy that applies only to the employees of the
county, municipality, or other political subdivision.
(3) Any local law, ordinance, resolution, rule, or policy
adopted before the effective date of this act that violates
subsection (2) of this section is null and void.
But you know there is always one bigot involved in these bills. It funny how these GOP’s bigots can always find a Baptist church to back them up.
