Full overview and dates aheadHide full overview
LB 77, in force since Jan. 1, 2026, bars a utilization review agent from denying, delaying or modifying care on medical necessity grounds on an AI-based algorithm alone. The agent must disclose such use to network providers, enrollees, the Department of Insurance and the public. Under the same act, a physician, or a clinical peer when the requesting provider is not a physician, must make prior authorization denials. Insurance Guidance Document IGD-H1, issued June 11, 2024, expects insurers to govern AI under a written program.
LB 525, signed April 14, 2026, requires public chatbots to have a protocol for prompts about suicidal ideation or self-harm and bars them from claiming to be designed to provide professional mental or behavioral health care. Those provisions take effect July 1, 2027. The state's Data Privacy Act, in force since Jan. 1, 2025, excludes covered entities under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
