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 must provide written notice of their objections to their supervisors or employers. The bill also stipulates that health care providers cannot be discriminated against for exercising their right of medical conscience and that they must still fulfill their obligations to provide other necessary health care services that do not conflict with their beliefs.

Additionally, the bill provides protections for health care providers and payors against discrimination or adverse actions when they report violations related to their conscience rights. It allows them to file complaints with the Attorney General if they believe their rights have been violated, and it ensures that they cannot be held civilly liable for declining to participate in services due to conscience-based objections. The bill also clarifies that emergency medical treatment requirements remain in effect, and it protects health care providers from disciplinary action for publicly discussing health care services or policies, as long as they do not provide medical advice or violate other laws.
