Access to Government Services

Every citizen has the right to access our government and its services. However, some groups may be excluded, underserved, or underrepresented. The Public Policy Center has worked to ensure our government and its services are available to every sector of society. The Public Policy Center has been examining racial and ethnic inequities from people who are both working in and/or affected by the justice system in Nebraska. Through these efforts legislation has been changed to regularly update jury pools and lists of residents eligible for jury service, as well as addressing opportunities for minorities in Nebraska’s judicial and legal professions. The Center has also examined access to services for Nebraska residents with developmental disabilities, refugees, and Medicaid recipients.
