This bill amends the Workplace Privacy Act in Nebraska by redefining the term "Employer" to include not only public and nonpublic entities but also subcontractors and customers of such employers. It introduces new prohibitions against employers requiring employees or applicants to disclose personal Internet account information or to log into such accounts in the employer's presence. Additionally, the bill prohibits employers from requiring employees to use applications or devices to track their location or travel patterns, with specific exceptions during a state of emergency for pandemic-related contact tracing.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that employers cannot take adverse actions against employees or applicants for refusing to provide personal information or for declining to participate in tracking or surveillance activities. It also stipulates that any data collected during tracking must be stored by an independent third party and only accessible by warrant. The original sections of the law being amended are repealed, ensuring that the new provisions take precedence.
