Bill > LB53

This bill provides immunity for healthcare providers acting in accordance with the "crisis standard of care" during a declared COVID-19 state of emergency in Nebraska. It defines key terms like "COVID-19 state of emergency" and "crisis standard of care," which refers to the state's published guidance for delivering healthcare during the pandemic when resources are insufficient. The bill amends the Nebraska Hospital-Medical Liability Act to include this new provision for immunity, aiming to protect healthcare providers from civil liability when their care falls short of the ordinary standard due to the COVID-19 emergency.
