This legislative bill amends various sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska and the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, with a focus on enhancing health care practices, child-care institutions, medical assistance programs, and juvenile rehabilitation services. Key amendments include new reporting requirements for physicians performing abortions, which now necessitate details such as the probable postfertilization age and method used. The bill also modifies the scope of practice for dental hygienists, allowing them to perform certain functions in public health settings while eliminating previous reporting requirements. Additionally, it expands the authorized acts for advanced emergency medical technicians and establishes a Customer Service Unit within the Title IV-D Division to improve child support enforcement.

Further provisions of the bill mandate child-care institutions to inform children about their rights to participate in age-appropriate activities and require the development of a written normalcy plan. In the medical assistance program, it introduces measures for program integrity contractors to conduct audits and investigations, while also removing limitations on funding for amino acid-based elemental formulas. The bill enhances educational and rehabilitative services in youth rehabilitation centers, ensuring compliance with federal guidelines and establishing a rigorous reporting system for juvenile treatment oversight. Overall, the bill aims to modernize health and human services in Nebraska, improve program integrity, and ensure better support for families and individuals with disabilities.
