On April 8th, LB 257 reached its next legislative milestone by being placed on the Select File in Nebraska’s unicameral legislature. This is the second stage of floor debate, where senators have an opportunity to discuss, amend, and vote on the bill.
The successful placement on the Select File shows continued legislative interest and momentum for our strategic portability model. Following a favorable vote in this stage, the bill will be scheduled for final reading—the last step before heading to the Governor.
With each stage passed, we grow more optimistic about the potential for LB 257 to become law. Enacting this bill would make Nebraska a leader in supporting mental health access and professional mobility.
We thank our legislative partners and the MFTs advocating for this important reform.
