The bill amends various sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska and the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, with a focus on improving health care practices and administrative procedures. Key changes include new reporting requirements for physicians performing abortions, mandating the reporting of specific details such as the probable postfertilization age and method used. The bill also modifies the reporting obligations for dental hygienists, allowing them to perform certain functions in public health settings with reduced reporting requirements. Additionally, it updates the definition of paramedic practice to encompass advanced emergency medical technician functions and eliminates outdated provisions related to health and human services programs, streamlining processes and enhancing efficiency.

In the realm of child-care institutions and medical assistance programs, the bill requires child-care institutions to inform children of their rights to participate in age-appropriate activities and mandates the development of a written normalcy plan. It establishes a program for providing amino acid-based elemental formulas for specific medical conditions, allowing for reimbursement of costs, and outlines responsibilities for program integrity contractors in auditing claims. The bill also introduces a family support program under Medicaid, providing capped budgets for long-term services and supports, and emphasizes the importance of utilizing federal funds for home and community-based services. Furthermore, it enhances educational and rehabilitative services in youth rehabilitation centers, requiring compliance with federal guidelines and establishing a new reporting system for grievances and room confinement documentation.
