Bill > LB1239

This bill amends existing Nebraska law concerning the management of long-term care facilities, specifically addressing how residents can obtain their medications. The key change is that a long-term care facility, even if it uses an automated medication system, cannot force a resident to get their medication through that system or prevent them from choosing their own pharmacy to obtain a medication. This change clarifies that residents have the right to select their preferred pharmacy for their medications, rather than being restricted to the facility's automated system. The bill also repeals the original section of law it is amending.
