AI Summary

  • Amends Nebraska civil procedure statutes (sections 25-331, 25-1223, and 29-1901) to update third-party practice rules and deposition subpoena requirements

  • Clarifies that defending parties may assert claims against third-party defendants who "may be" liable, in addition to those who "are" liable, for all or part of claims against the defending party

  • Establishes new requirements for deposition subpoenas to include location information: physical address for in-person depositions, videoconferencing links, or telephone call instructions

  • Allows videoconferencing links or telephone instructions to be provided within a "reasonable time" before the deposition rather than requiring inclusion in the subpoena itself
