Any individual or business entity engaged in the business of abstracting in this state without having complied with the Abstracters Act shall be guilty of a Class III misdemeanor. Violation of the Abstracters Act shall in no way be construed to preclude the liability of a holder of a certificate of authority, a registered abstracter, any person holding himself or herself out to be a registered abstracter or a holder of a certificate of authority, or any person illegally engaged in the business of abstracting in the State of Nebraska.
"Preparing written reports of title to real property" constitutes the "business of abstracting" for purposes of the Abstracters Act only when done in exchange for a fee or other valuable consideration. So construed, the Abstracters Act is not unconstitutionally overbroad on its face. State v. Rabourn, 269 Neb. 499, 693 N.W.2d 291 (2005).
