Provide requirements for intimate examinations of certain body parts
LB 110 requires health care providers to obtain written consent before performing a pelvic exam on a patient who is unconscious or under anesthesia in a hospital or clinic, unless it's an emergency, authorized by a decision-maker, or court-ordered. It directly affects patients unable to consent and health care providers who must follow these rules. The bill mandates written notification to patients before discharge if such an exam was performed, and violations could lead to disciplinary action under Nebraska's credentialing laws. This legislation aims to protect patient autonomy during medical procedures requiring unconsciousness.

MINOR
The bill was updated from a committee draft to its final reading version, incorporating administrative changes like the correct sponsor names and session details. Substantively, the definition of a 'health care facility' was broadened to include any facility licensed under the Uniform Credentialing Act, rather than limiting it to hospitals or medical clinics. This change expands the law's protection to cover intimate examinations performed in a wider variety of medical settings.
Scope change
The scope of applicability was expanded by changing the definition of 'health care facility' to include all facilities licensed under the Uniform Credentialing Act, rather than just hospitals and medical clinics.
DEFINITION
The definition of 'health care facility' was broadened from 'hospital or medical clinic' to any 'health care facility as defined in section 71-413' (licensed under the Uniform Credentialing Act).
TECHNICAL
Administrative details were updated to reflect the correct sponsors (Hughes and Raybould) and the official legislative session (109th Legislature, 2nd Session).
The bill text was updated to indicate it is ready for the 'Final Reading' stage of the legislative process.
