This bill amends section 71-2451.01 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, focusing on the management of long-term care facilities that utilize automated medication systems. The key change stipulates that such facilities cannot require residents to obtain medication through the automated system, nor can they restrict residents' ability to choose their preferred pharmacy for obtaining medications.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 71-2451.01, thereby updating the legal framework governing medication management in long-term care settings. The amendment aims to enhance residents' autonomy in managing their medication needs while ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations.
