Complete·2/25/26

Nebraska LB202 exempts certain activities from disciplinary action under the Medicine and Surgery Practice Act.

Nebraska LB202 amends the Medicine and Surgery Practice Act to exempt certain activities from disciplinary action. Specifically, it ensures that a license to practice medicine and surgery or osteopathic medicine and surgery will not be subject to disciplinary measures due to the expression of opinions in public or professional forums. This change aims to protect the First Amendment rights of licensed professionals. The bill repeals the original section 38-2037 and replaces it with these new provisions.
