The proposed bill aims to establish the right of medical conscience for health care providers and payors in Nebraska, allowing them to refuse participation in health care services that conflict with their sincerely held moral, ethical, or religious beliefs. It outlines the definitions of key terms such as "conscience-based objection," "adverse action," and "health care service," and emphasizes that health care providers must provide written notice of their objections to their supervisors or employers. The bill also stipulates that providers cannot be discriminated against for exercising their right of medical conscience and that they must still fulfill their obligations to provide other health care services that do not conflict with their beliefs.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to protect health care providers and payors from adverse actions when they report violations of the act or participate in related proceedings. It allows for complaints to be filed with the Attorney General, who can take civil action if violations are found. Importantly, the bill ensures that health care providers cannot be held civilly liable for declining to participate in services due to conscience-based objections, while also maintaining the requirement to provide emergency medical treatment as mandated by law. Disciplinary actions against providers for public statements regarding health care services are also restricted, provided those statements do not violate other laws.
