The bill amends the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Patient Protection Act by adding new provisions to section 71-24,103 of the Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025. It introduces a new section that provides immunity for health care practitioners, ensuring they will not face arrest, prosecution, or penalties for recommending cannabis as a treatment option for patients. This includes protection from civil penalties or disciplinary actions by the Department of Health and Human Services or any professional licensing boards based solely on their recommendations regarding cannabis use for medical purposes.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 71-24,103, thereby updating the legal framework surrounding the medical use of cannabis in Nebraska. The changes aim to enhance the legal protections for health care practitioners, encouraging them to provide recommendations without fear of legal repercussions, ultimately benefiting patients seeking therapeutic or palliative care through cannabis.
