The proposed bill, known as the Sexual Assault Emergency Care Act, aims to establish comprehensive guidelines for hospitals providing emergency care to sexual assault survivors in Nebraska. It defines key terms such as "emergency care for a sexual assault survivor," "emergency contraception," and "sexual assault survivor," and mandates that hospitals offer medically accurate information about emergency contraception, ensure that survivors are informed of their options, and dispense emergency contraception unless declined. Additionally, hospitals are required to train personnel involved in such care and develop policies to comply with the act, particularly in cases of moral or religious objections from healthcare providers.

The bill also outlines a complaint process for survivors regarding hospital compliance with the act, detailing how the Department of Health and Human Services will handle complaints, conduct investigations, and report findings. It establishes penalties for non-compliance, including warnings for first-time violations and fines for subsequent violations. The act includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the law is deemed invalid, the remaining sections will still be enforceable.
