A legislative panel has scheduled hearings on four bills that would exempt various forms of retirement pay from Nebraska state income taxes.
The Legislature’s Revenue Committee will take public input on the bills on Thursday.
Three of the measures would exclude military retirement benefits from state income taxes. One of those bills would also exempt Social Security benefits. A fourth bill would exclude all retirement benefits.
The bills were introduced by Sens. Bob Krist of Omaha, Charlie Janssen of Fremont, Jim Smith of Papillion and Bill Kintner of Papillion.
In addition, Gov. Dave Heineman has proposed eliminating or at least reducing Nebraska’s income tax. The governor’s proposal would replace the lost state revenue by ending sales-tax exemptions.

A power outage has forced officials to keep the Douglas County Courthouse closed until electricity is restored.
An explosion and fire in an underground vault that occurred a little before 5:45 p.m. Sunday knocked out power to about 2,000 customers. Omaha Public Power District says it’s been restored to all but about 100 of them, but some traffic lights have been affected, as well as some buildings. That includes OPPD’s headquarters.
Police said Monday that stop signs were set up at some intersections, and officers were directing traffic at some busier intersections.
OPPD spokesman Mike Jones says he doesn’t have an estimate for when the repairs will be finished.
On 01-27-13 at 2:20 PM the North Platte 911 Center received a call that a Great Lakes Beach Craft 1900 with 17 passengers on board was unable to deploy landing gear to land at Lee Bird Field. The aircraft circled the airfield while emergency crews were dispatched and arrived at the scene. It is believed that the pilots were able to manually deploy the landing gear and the aircraft landing safely. As of 3:00 PM the passengers were being unloaded from the aircraft and no one had been transported to the hospital for treatment.
Lawmakers have set a hearing for a bill that would prevent bosses from demanding access to private information within their employees’ Facebook or Twitter accounts.
The Legislature’s Business and Labor Committee will hold a hearing on the proposal on Monday.
The bill by Sen. Tyson Larson of O’Neill would make it illegal for employers or potential employers to request the information from a worker or job applicant.
The bill would prevent employers from ordering a worker to log onto a social media site in the employer’s presence. Employers also would be banned from demanding passwords, or accessing an account indirectly through a friend or third party.
The law would not apply to information posted by employees that’s in the public domain.

“Holy windfall, Batman!” The Batmobile just sold for $4.2 million.
The original 19-foot-long black, bubble-topped car used in the 1960s “Batman” TV show sold at auction Saturday.
The Barrett-Jackson Auction Co. in Scottsdale, Ariz., revealed the selling price but says the winning bidder has not been disclosed.
The car’s owner — auto customizer George Barris, of Los Angeles — transformed a one-of-a-kind 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car into the sleek crime-fighting machine. It boasted lasers and a “Batphone” and could lay down smoke screens and oil slicks.
The iconic car was used by Adam West who starred as the Caped Crusader and by Burt Ward, his sidekick Robin known for exclamations beginning with —”Holy.”
Barris’ publicist says his client is pleased with the auction result.
