AI Summary
- Nebraska legislators must complete a civics assessment within 90 days of taking the oath of office
- The assessment consists of 20 randomly selected questions from the U.S. Naturalization Test administered by USCIS, or an equivalent test designated by the Secretary of State or State Department of Education
- Completion is mandatory but passing is not required; results do not affect a member's ability to hold office
- The Clerk of the Legislature administers the test, certifies scores to individual members, and publishes raw scores on the Legislature's official website and in each member's public biography
