Bill to re‑earmark Work Ethic Camp proceeds for reentry draws bipartisan support and calls for reporting Sen. Ashley Spivey introduced LB752 to direct proceeds tied to the former Work Ethic Camp (McCook) toward reentry and vocational life‑skills programming; proponents argued reentry investments reduce recidivism and save taxpayers while the inspector general and committee members sought clearer reporting and implementation rules.

Sen. Ashley Spivey's new bill aims to transform the funding from the Work Ethic Camp into a lifeline for Nebraska's reentry and rehabilitation programs, promising to reduce recidivism and save taxpayer dollars.
