Change provisions relating to blood tests for pregnant women

Maddy summaryThis Nebraska bill updates requirements for blood tests during pregnancy. It mandates that healthcare providers offer voluntary syphilis tests at the first prenatal visit, third trimester, and delivery, and voluntary HIV tests during pregnancy (with written refusal allowed). Providers must clearly inform patients about these tests and their right to decline. The bill also ensures Medicaid-covered individuals will have syphilis test costs covered by Medicaid funds, and test results must be reported to health officials without appearing on birth certificates.

Approve the indication of intent by the Game and Parks Commission to incorporate Camp Augustine into the state park system

Maddy summaryThis legislative resolution (LR 17) approves the Game and Parks Commission's intent to incorporate Camp Augustine - a 156-acre campground owned by the city of Grand Island - into Nebraska's state park system, specifically alongside Mormon Island State Recreation Area. It does not create new park facilities but authorizes the Commission to pursue this partnership with Grand Island, subject to cost approval through the normal budget process. The resolution requires that any costs for incorporation be covered by separate legislative budget approvals, not existing funds. This is a procedural step required by state law before the Commission can move forward with the partnership.
