  Yes, they repealed the previous repeal. It was abolished in Nebraska, now it's back. Reinstate would have kept the previous abolition. https://ballotpedia.org/Nebraska_Death_Penalty_Repeal,_Referendum_426_(2016) https://ballotpedia.org/Nebraska_Death_Penalty_Repeal,_Refer...

california doubled down on the death penalty prop 62 (o) > Repeals death penalty and replaces it with life imprisonment without possibility of parole. Applies retroactively to existing death sentences. Increases the portion of life inmates' wages that may be applied to victim restitution. Fiscal Impact: Net ongoing reduction in state and county criminal justice costs of around $150 million annually within a few years, although the impact could vary by tens of millions of dollars depending on various factors. prop 66 (i) > Changes procedures governing state court challenges to death sentences. Designates superior court for initial petitions and limits successive petitions. Requires appointed attorneys who take noncapital appeals to accept death penalty appeals. Exempts prison officials from existing regulation process for developing execution methods. Fiscal Impact: Unknown ongoing impact on state court costs for processing legal challenges to death sentences. Potential prison savings in the tens of millions of dollars annually. overshadowing two positives in regard incarcerations: 64 legalising of cannabis, and 57 parole for nonviolent offenders (ii) (o) http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/en/propositions/62/ http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/en/propositions/62/ (i) http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/en/propositions/66/ http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/en/propositions/66/ (ii) http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/en/propositions/ http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/en/propositions/
