Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen signed LB937 into law, marking a milestone in the state’s support for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Introduced by Sen. Eliot Bostar and amended to include the SAF tax credit from Sen. George Dungan’s LB1072, this legislation establishes a production tax credit for SAF in Nebraska. The Nebraska Ethanol Board (NEB) applauded the passage and enactment of LB937.

“We are excited and encouraged by this landmark SAF legislation, and Gov. Pillen’s signing of the bill,” said Reid Wagner, Executive Director of the Nebraska Ethanol Board. “This bill creates a first-in-the-Midwest tax credit for SAF to be produced right here in Nebraska.”
