Nebraska is the only state in the United States with a unicameral legislature. When Nebraska switched to a unicameral legislature in 1937, the lower house (the Nebraska House of Representatives) was abolished. All current Nebraskan legislators are referred to as "senators", as the pre-1937 upper house, the Nebraska Senate, was the retained house. Currently, the state's legislature is formally known as the Nebraska Legislature and is often referred to as "the Unicameral". (See Members of the Nebraska Legislature.)
