Governor Jim Pillen will sign LB 574, which includes the Let them Grow Act and the Preborn Child Protection Act, into law on Monday. The new bans on abortion will immediately go into effect due to the emergency clause attached to the Preborn Child Protection Act. The bill bans abortions at 12 weeks gestational age, with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. The bill also includes restrictions on transgender care for anyone under 19, with specifics to be determined by the state's chief medical officer.
