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 "adverse action," "conscience-based objection," and "health care service," and emphasizes that health care providers and payors should not face discrimination for exercising their right of medical conscience. The bill also mandates that providers must notify their supervisors or employers of any conscience-based objections and document these objections in patient medical files.

Additionally, the bill protects health care providers and payors from adverse actions or discrimination for reporting violations related to their conscience rights or for declining to participate in services based on their beliefs. It allows for complaints to be filed with the Attorney General regarding violations of the act, and provides immunity from civil liability for providers who refuse to participate in services due to conscience-based objections. The bill also clarifies that emergency medical treatment requirements remain unaffected and that disciplinary actions cannot be taken against providers for public speech regarding health care services, as long as it does not violate other laws.
