Nebraska LB608 amends the First Responder Recruitment and Retention Act to expand insurance protections and tuition waivers. It ensures that employers cannot cancel health insurance policies for first responders who suffer serious bodily injury in the line of duty, unless the responder voluntarily leaves employment or does not return to work within twelve months post-injury. The bill also extends tuition waivers to dependents and qualifying children of first responders, including firefighters, correctional officers, and youth detention officers.
