The Nebraska Unicameral is the single legislative chamber of the U.S. state of Nebraska. Established in 1937, it is unique among U.S. states as it has only one house, rather than the typical two (House and Senate). This system is designed to streamline the legislative process and reduce costs. Members of the Nebraska Unicameral are known as Senators, and they serve four-year terms. The legislature meets annually, and its sessions are open to the public. The Unicameral is responsible for creating state laws, approving budgets, and addressing various issues affecting the state.
