The bill establishes the Regional Mental Health Expansion Pilot Program Act to enhance Nebraska's mental health services, particularly in rural areas. It creates a pilot program under the Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, which will provide funding to county law enforcement agencies for expanding mental health beds and improving inter-agency cooperation. The program aims to reduce the burden on law enforcement during mental health crises and improve access to mental health services without criminalizing these issues. The commission will also develop grant eligibility requirements and seek federal funding for collaborative emergency response efforts involving law enforcement and mental health professionals.
Additionally, the bill amends various sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to prohibit discrimination based on military or veteran status in employment, housing, and public accommodations. It expands the definition of "restrictive covenant" to include military or veteran status, ensuring equal treatment in housing transactions. The bill also updates provisions related to garnishment procedures, sexual offenses by school personnel, and the operations of community correctional facilities. Overall, the legislation aims to strengthen mental health services and civil rights protections for military and veteran individuals while enhancing the legal framework governing various aspects of Nebraska's criminal justice and housing systems.
