Amended into LB 848 by AM 2723. LB849 clarifies legislative intent for eligibility in the Young Adult Bridge to Independence Program, which supports former state wards in transitioning to adulthood, becoming self-sufficient, and creating permanent relationships. Specifically, LB849 defines age of eligibility as nineteen years of age or younger, or eighteen years of age if the young adult has become ineligible for participation in a tribal court due to attaining 18 years of age.
