Nebraska Initiative 416 was a 2000 ballot initiative that amended the Nebraska Constitution to make it unconstitutional for the state to recognize or perform same-sex marriage, same-sex civil unions or domestic partnerships.^[2] The referendum was approved on November 7, 2000, by 70% of the voters.^[3] The initiative has since been struck down in federal court and same-sex marriage is now legally recognized in the state of Nebraska.

Article I-29. of the Nebraska Constitution remains an unconstitutional constitutional amendment to this day. It can repealed by either a initiated constitutional amendment, a state constitutional convention or by a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that requires a three-fifths vote in the Nebraska Legislature and a majority vote in a referendum.
