NE LB103

Amends Nebraska's rape shield law (Section 27-412) to add protection for victims who have been victims of other sexual assaults, expanding existing protections that already covered evidence of other sexual behavior

Establishes new procedural requirements for felony case depositions when a party seeks to question witnesses about evidence under the rape shield law or prior alleged false allegations of sexual assault, requiring advance notice of intent without disclosing witness identifying information

Requires sealed in camera hearings at least 7 days before scheduled depositions when objections are filed to such questioning, with only parties present and records preserved for appeal

Allows sexual assault victims to have an advocate of their choosing present during depositions, with prosecutors required to inform victims of this right; advocates cannot interfere or provide legal advice

Approved by Governor February 24, 2026; introduced by Senators DeBoer, Bosn, and Raybould
