Nebraska's medical conscience bill died when the 2025-2026 session ended.

The lead issue

Nebraska lawmakers considered bills on medical conscience objections, licensing midwives, and water fluoridation in the 2025-2026 session, but none of them passed before it ended on April 17, 2026. Several bills that would have taxed services or eliminated sales tax exemptions also failed.
