Nebraska Attorney General Says Property Owners Can Bar Petition Circulators
Private property owners, including the owners of shopping malls and free-standing stores, have a legal right to bar petition circulators and their opponents from their property, Attorney General Jon Bruning said Friday.
Bruning’s office issued a legal opinion about the issue in response to a request by Speaker of the Legislature Mike Flood of Norfolk.
“The law is clear,” Bruning said. “Private property owners have a right to restrict who comes on their property.”
