"Nebraska State Senator faces ethics complaint over controversial bills"

A complaint was filed against Nebraska State Senator Megan Hunt alleging a potential conflict of interest on proposed restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors. The complaint argues that Hunt has a stake in LB 574, which would prohibit puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgeries for minors. However, multiple lawmakers defended Hunt, stating that the complaint was "out of bounds" and that family members should be off-limits. Hunt and doctors who provide gender-affirming services have said that she does not have a financial stake in the bill.
