LB913 Requires DHHS to Appoint Dementia Services Coordinator
Summary
Nebraska Legislative Bill LB913 passed final reading 48-0-1 on April 9, 2026, requiring the Department of Health and Human Services to appoint a dedicated dementia services coordinator. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Dunixi Guereca, advanced through the Health and Human Services Committee with amendment AM2383 before reaching enrollment. This establishes the first statewide dementia services coordinator position in Nebraska's DHHS structure.
What changed
LB913 requires the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services to establish and fill a dementia services coordinator position responsible for coordinating statewide dementia care resources and services. The bill passed with strong bipartisan support (48-0-1) after amendments in the Health and Human Services Committee. The coordinator will serve as a point of contact for dementia-related initiatives across state agencies and community organizations.
Healthcare providers, social service organizations, and advocacy groups working with dementia patients should monitor DHHS implementation. The new coordinator position may influence future funding allocations, program priorities, and care coordination standards for Nebraska's growing dementia population.
What to do next
- Monitor for gubernatorial action and signing into law
- Review DHHS organizational structure for implementation of new coordinator position
- Assess impact on existing dementia-related programs and services
