  • Gov. Jim Pillen on Thursday proclaimed the success of five ballot measures this November with his signature, formally legalizing medical cannabis, abortion restrictions and a framework for paid sick leave,

The article from MSN discusses several new laws that have taken effect in Nebraska as of January 1, 2024. Key changes include the legalization of medical cannabis, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to access marijuana for treatment. Additionally, Nebraska has introduced a new paid sick leave policy, mandating that employers provide paid sick leave to employees, enhancing worker benefits. On the other hand, the state has also implemented new abortion restrictions, limiting the procedure to the first 12 weeks of pregnancy with exceptions for rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother. Lastly, a significant legislative move was the repeal of the school choice program, which had previously allowed public funds to be used for private school scholarships, signaling a shift in educational policy. These changes reflect a broad spectrum of legislative priorities addressing health, labor rights, reproductive rights, and education in Nebraska.
