Quick Answer: AI Healthcare Regulation in Nebraska
Nebraska has no dedicated AI-in-healthcare law. As of mid-2025, Nebraska has not enacted any statute or administrative rule specifically governing artificial intelligence in clinical settings.
Nebraska's general-purpose laws apply to AI use by implication. The Nebraska Medical Practice Act (Nebraska Revised Statutes Chapter 71) governs professional conduct and standard of care, regardless of the tools a physician uses. Nebraska's data breach notification statute (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§87-801 through 87-810) applies whenever a breach involves personal information, including protected health information processed by an AI system. Nebraska Administrative Code Title 172 (Department of Health and Human Services) covers facility licensing and operational standards. These rules constrain how technology is deployed in licensed settings but do not specifically address AI.
Federal frameworks provide the primary regulatory structure. The FDA classifies AI and machine learning tools that meet the definition of a medical device under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The Department of Health and Human Services enforces HIPAA (45 CFR Parts 160, 162, and 164) for any AI system that processes protected health information. Nebraska providers must satisfy both layers of regulation.

- FTC Section 5 enforcement of deceptive AI healthcare claims (FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. §45).
- Adopt the Transparency in Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Act, create a fund, and change provisions relating to records which may be withheld from the public
- Adopt the Artificial Intelligence Consumer Protection Act
- Adopt the Conversational Artificial Intelligence Safety Act
- Interim study to examine the current status of artificial intelligence legislation occurring at the state and federal levels to address risks to public safety and to determine what action Nebraska should take to address such risks
