The proposed bill, known as the Family Home Visitation Act, aims to establish a framework for funding and implementing home visitation programs in Nebraska. It defines key terms, such as "Department" referring to the Department of Health and Human Services and "Home visitation program" as a voluntary initiative primarily targeting families with children aged five or younger or pregnant individuals. The bill mandates that any state-funded home visitation program must include periodic visits by qualified professionals, such as nurses and social workers, and must focus on improving health outcomes, promoting positive parenting, and enhancing family well-being among other objectives.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that only evidence-based home visitation programs will receive funding, ensuring they adhere to established standards and demonstrate effective service delivery. It allows for the use of funds for workforce development and certification maintenance for home visitation providers. The act also emphasizes that families can opt out of the services at any time and requires the department to report on the effectiveness and reach of these programs biennially. The bill includes provisions for the department to create necessary regulations to implement the act effectively.
