The Nebraska Supreme Court recently upheld a law restricting abortion and trans health care for minors. Planned Parenthood of the Heartland argued that LB 574 violated the state constitution’s single-subject provision.
In February, prior to the oral argument of Planned Parenthood of The Heartland, Inc. v. Hilgers, Professor Anthony Schutz, along with the Nebraska Appleseed Center for Law in the Public Interest and Nebraska Civic Engagement Table, submitted a brief of amici curiae in support of the appellant. They argued that Nebraska's single-subject rule serves important functions in the protection and operation of our representative democracy and that a ruling that LB 574 has one subject could effectively render the single-subject provision meaningless.
