This bill establishes confidential and privileged peer support counseling for emergency services personnel, law enforcement officers, and members of the Nebraska National Guard. It defines key terms related to peer support counseling, including "peer support specialist," "peer support counseling session," and "employee assistance program." The bill ensures that communications made during these counseling sessions are confidential and not subject to disclosure in any judicial or administrative proceedings, with specific exceptions for threats of suicide, criminal acts, and mandatory reporting of abuse or neglect.

Additionally, the bill outlines the roles and responsibilities of peer support specialists and the conditions under which communications may remain confidential. It emphasizes that while peer support counseling communications are protected, knowledge gained by law enforcement or emergency services personnel through their employment is not restricted. The legislation aims to provide a safe space for individuals involved in traumatic incidents to seek support without fear of legal repercussions.
