Legislative History

Source: Laws 1965, c. 453, § 19, p. 1445; Laws 1977, LB 39, § 208; R.S.1943, (1981), § 76-527; Laws 1985, LB 47, § 28. Annotations: "Preparing written reports of title to real property" constitutes the "business of abstracting" for purposes of the Abstracters Act only when done in exchange for a fee or other valuable consideration. So construed, the Abstracters Act is not unconstitutionally overbroad on its face. State v. Rabourn, 269 Neb. 499, 693 N.W.2d 291 (2005).
