The bill amends the Nebraska Prenatal Plus Program by changing eligibility requirements, eliminating a sunset date, and modifying the services eligible for reimbursement. Specifically, it allows program services to be available to mothers up to and including the sixtieth day of the postpartum period, and it removes the previous termination date of June 30, 2028. Additionally, the bill specifies that eligible services for at-risk mothers will now include a minimum of two breastfeeding support sessions, alongside other existing services such as nutrition counseling and psychosocial support.
Furthermore, the bill updates the reporting requirements for the Department of Health and Human Services, mandating that they electronically submit an annual report to the Legislature by December 15 each year, extending the reporting period through December 15, 2034. The original sections of the law that are being amended are repealed, ensuring that the new provisions take effect.
