This bill amends section 38-2037 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Medicine and Surgery Practice Act. The amendment introduces new provisions that outline the grounds for disciplinary action against medical professionals, specifically stating that a license may be denied, limited, revoked, or suspended if the individual fails to comply with certain regulations regarding the signing of birth and death certificates.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the protection of First Amendment rights for licensed medical practitioners by allowing them to express differing medical opinions in public or professional forums without fear of disciplinary action. This intent is clearly stated in the new legal language, which asserts that such expressions of opinion will not result in any disciplinary measures against the licensee. The original section 38-2037 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
