This bill amends section 83-4,114.02 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to require independent confirmatory testing for inmates who test positive for drug or alcohol violations before any disciplinary actions are taken. The new language specifies that inmates can request confirmation testing for positive results from urinalysis as well as any screening, field, presumptive, or spot tests of items suspected to contain contraband drugs.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if the confirmation test still yields a positive result, the inmate may be responsible for covering the costs associated with the confirmation testing. The original section 83-4,114.02 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
