Privacy, dignity, and safety are fundamental rights of every Nebraskan, and this week, three important bills to protect sex-specific spaces and establish critical safeguards against harmful “gender-altering” practices are scheduled for committee hearings.
Take action now by submitting a comment to the Nebraska Legislature in support of LB 730, LB 731, and LB 732 before January 28 to help move these bills forward!
LB 730: Protect Girls’ Locker Rooms & Restrooms
Girls should not be forced to share private spaces like locker rooms and restrooms with men, and schools have a responsibility to provide a safe environment where children can learn and thrive. LB 730 sets clear, common-sense standards for public schools, colleges, and state facilities by designating restrooms and locker rooms according to biological sex with reasonable accommodations.
-
- Protects the bodily privacy of women and girls by preserving sex-specific locker rooms and restrooms, ensuring they are not forced into unsafe or intrusive shared spaces.
- Provides clear and consistent statewide standards grounded in biological reality for public schools and agencies.
- Includes reasonable accommodations, including single-occupancy and family restrooms, without eliminating spaces designated for females and males.
LB 731: Gender Transition Malpractice Accountability Act
Patients who undergo irreversible “gender-altering” procedures, often as minors, may not realize the full extent of physical, emotional, or reproductive harm until years later. LB 731 improves accountability and transparency in medicine by allowing patients harmed by “gender-altering” procedures to seek justice.
-
- Extends the statute of limitations, so victims can pursue legal action because many vulnerable patients, especially minors, cannot fully understand the long-term risks of “gender-altering” procedures.
- Strengthens informed consent, requiring clear written disclosures of known risks, the lack of long-term data, and potential regret.
- Prioritizes patient well-being over ideology, reinforcing ethical standards in medical practice and accountability for long-term care.
LB 732: Prohibit Gender Transition Drugs for Children
Children struggling to embrace their biological sex need compassionate care—not experimental drugs with life-altering, irreversible consequences. LB 732 strengthens the Let Them Grow Act by prohibiting the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on minors in Nebraska.
-
- Affirms that children under the age of 19 cannot consent to harmful medical interventions with lifelong consequences.
- Prioritizes evidence-based practice, recognizing the lack of reliable long-term data on the safety of these drugs for children.
- Holds providers accountable, reinforcing professional standards and empowering the Attorney General to enforce the law.
