LB 1239 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to management of long-term care facilities

This bill changes Nebraska law to allow residents of long-term care facilities to choose their own pharmacy for medications, rather than being required to use the facility's automated medication system. It removes restrictions that previously forced residents to obtain medications through the facility's system, ensuring they can access medications from their preferred pharmacy. The law directly affects residents in Nebraska's long-term care facilities by expanding their medication choice. The bill replaces a previous requirement that limited pharmacy options for these residents.
