Stat. § 63-105","body":"(1) The Legislature finds that:\n\n(a) Newspapers are a significant and important source of daily information;\n\n(b) As a written form of media, newspapers are able to provide indepth coverage of issues as well as coverage of a breadth of issues which may be absent in other electronic or broadcast media;\n\n(c) While a newspaper's written format has advantages, such written format severely limits the ability of blind and other print-reading-impaired persons to obtain information from newspapers;\n\n(d) This information deficit contributes to an unemployment rate estimated at seventy-five percent among working-age blind persons to whom the availability of such detailed news coverage would vastly improve opportunities for meaningful employment;\n\n(e) There are a significant number of blind and other print-reading-impaired persons in Nebraska who would benefit from having timely and complete access to local and national newspapers;\n\n(f) Due to technological advances, newspapers can be efficiently and effectively distributed by voice to enable access by blind and other print-reading-impaired persons; and\n\n(g) The state should maintain a system by which blind and other print-reading-impaired persons can access the information newspapers provide.\n\n(2) The purpose of this section and section 63-106 is to provide a digital voice newspaper delivery system to enable blind and other print-reading-impaired persons to access newspapers in a timely and comprehensive manner.","path":["NE Code","Chapter 63"],"source_url":"https://nebraskalegislature.gov/laws/statutes.php?statute=63-105","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:21Z","sha256":"7ee8476d105b49b682053d513857e9b04bdf2b3e0ebadf7964181b7210b95950","source_id":"us-ne","stale":false,"prev":"us-ne/neb.-rev.-stat.-63-103","next":"us-ne/neb.-rev.-stat.-63-106"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
