This bill amends sections of the Nebraska State Insurance Program to require coverage for in vitro fertilization (IVF) starting July 1, 2025. It introduces new provisions that allow for a lifetime maximum benefit of four completed egg retrievals and specifies that coverage is available only to individuals who have been unable to conceive through less expensive infertility treatments. Additionally, it mandates that covered procedures be performed at facilities adhering to standards set by recognized medical organizations.

The bill also modifies existing provisions regarding special coverages in group life and health insurance contracts. It ensures that these special coverages are uniformly available to all employees, while allowing each employee the option to select or reject the coverages. The original language that outlined these provisions has been deleted, streamlining the requirements for special coverages. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage due to the declaration of an emergency.
