This bill aims to establish regulations regarding the disposition of remains from aborted unborn children in Nebraska. It emphasizes the importance of protecting public health and welfare while respecting the dignity of unborn children. The bill mandates that health care facilities performing elective abortions must ensure the dignified and safe disposal of these remains, which are defined as the physical remains of an unborn child at any stage of gestation whose life has been terminated by an elective abortion.

Specifically, the bill prohibits health care facilities from disposing of the remains in any manner not outlined in the legislation. It requires that the remains be individually disposed of through cremation or burial, or as directed by the Board of Health if those options are not feasible. Importantly, the bill states that no notice regarding the method of disposition needs to be provided to the woman upon whom the abortion was performed.
