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, including the option to receive it. Hospitals are required to train their personnel on these provisions and develop policies to ensure compliance, even in cases of moral or religious objections from individual healthcare providers.

Additionally, the bill outlines a complaint process for survivors regarding hospital compliance with the act. The Department of Health and Human Services is tasked with reviewing complaints, maintaining confidentiality, and reporting on the nature and outcomes of these complaints. The bill stipulates penalties for non-compliance, including written warnings for first offenses and fines for subsequent violations. It also includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining sections will still be enforceable.
