Nebraska LB66 adopts the Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act to standardize health-care decision-making processes. It allows individuals to appoint agents to make health-care decisions on their behalf, create advance directives, and outline preferences for mental health care. The act also establishes rules for default surrogates, who step in if no agent is appointed. It ensures that health-care decisions align with the individual's wishes and best interests, and it prohibits coercion or fraud in creating or revoking directives.
