Senator’s Note

Body
Senator Loren Lippincott • District 34 The filibuster became part of the Nebraska Legislature’s procedures in 1937, when the one-house Unicameral first convened. Nebraska’s filibuster operates through unlimited debate, which can be ended only by a cloture motion requiring a two-thirds majority (currently thirty-three out of forty-nine senators) to cease debate and force a vote.
