Mental health bill advances in Nebraska Legislature
The Public Health and Welfare Committee approved LB501 by 6 to 0 to change the 1976 Mental Health Commitment Act. It lengthens voluntary sign-out time to 48 hours and requires two physicians or two clinicians for civil custody decisions, excludes weekends from hearings, and aims to clarify medical and legal safeguards while addressing concerns from opponents and civil liberties advocates. The panel also rejected LB471 on tying down mobile home dealers.
