LR 382 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Interim study to examine issues related to play therapy access in Nebraska

This legislative resolution directs the Nebraska Health and Human Services Committee to conduct an interim study on play therapy access for children and families in the state. The study will examine evidence on play therapy effectiveness, current regulations, billing challenges, required credentials, and how other states handle this mental health intervention. The committee will review potential policy changes and determine if additional state funding is needed, then submit findings and recommendations to the Legislature. This measure focuses on gathering information to inform future decisions rather than implementing immediate policy changes.
