This bill amends section 83-4,114.02 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to enhance the rights of inmates regarding drug and alcohol violations. It mandates that before any disciplinary action is taken against an inmate for such violations, the inmate has the right to request independent confirmation testing of positive results. The bill specifies that this testing can be applied to both urinalysis and any screening, field, presumptive, or spot tests of items suspected of containing contraband drugs.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if the confirmation test continues to yield positive results, the inmate will be required to pay for the cost of the confirmation test, as opposed to having the option to do so. The original section 83-4,114.02 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
