LB 632 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Require a health care facility to dispose of the remains of aborted unborn children

LB 632 requires health care facilities performing elective abortions in Nebraska to arrange for the dignified disposal of fetal remains through burial or cremation. It prohibits facilities from disposing of remains in any other manner, such as medical waste or incineration. The bill applies only to elective abortions (not medical emergencies), mandates facilities to handle disposal without notifying patients, and allows the Board of Health to direct alternative methods if burial/cremation isn't feasible. The bill is currently under review by the Health and Human Services Committee.
