LB 804 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide confidential peer support counseling for law enforcement officers, emergency services personnel, and Nebraska National Guard personnel

Nebraska bill LB 804 creates confidential peer support counseling for law enforcement officers, emergency services personnel (including firefighters and EMTs), and Nebraska National Guard members. It protects communications during these sessions from being disclosed in court, to the public, or used in legal proceedings, while defining "peer support specialists" as trained colleagues who lead sessions after traumatic incidents. The confidentiality does not apply to threats of suicide, criminal acts, or required abuse reports. This bill makes existing peer support programs legally protected without creating new funding or services.
