Nebraska State Senator Rick Holdcroft introduced a bill on March 12 aimed at combating human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. The bill proposed requiring sex offender registration for those convicted of sex trafficking or profiting from it in Nebraska, including retroactive cases. Supporters, like Pamela Mock, a street outreach specialist, emphasized the importance of protecting survivors. Opponents, such as defense attorney Spike Eickel, argued that lifetime registration requirements are unfair to those who have already served their sentences. Ultimately, the bill (LB511) did not pass through the Judiciary Committee and did not become law.
