Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-301 et seq. § 20-308
Conciliation agreement, defined.
Operative Text
Conciliation agreement shall mean a written agreement setting forth the resolution of the issues in conciliation.
Nebraska Revised Statute § 20-308 establishes a legal definition for the term 'conciliation agreement' within the state's fair housing or civil rights framework. Under this provision, a conciliation agreement is specifically a written document that records how disputed issues were resolved through the conciliation process. The written form is a defining requirement — verbal understandings alone would not meet this statutory definition.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-308, when a housing-related complaint is resolved through conciliation, the resolution must be captured in a written agreement to carry legal weight as a 'conciliation agreement.' Operators who participate in conciliation proceedings generally ensure that any agreed-upon terms are formally documented in writing before considering the matter closed. Retaining a copy of any such written agreement is a standard practice for demonstrating compliance with the terms reached during the process.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-308 defines what counts as a 'conciliation agreement,' and that definition requires the resolution to be in writing. If a dispute is resolved through conciliation, tenants can look to this provision to understand that any settlement of issues should be documented in a written agreement — not just a verbal understanding. Tenant-rights organizations can help individuals understand what a properly formed conciliation agreement should contain and what options exist if a written agreement was never produced.
