Planned Parenthood of the Heartland v. Hilgers

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s judgment rejecting a challenge to the constitutionality of L.B. 574 under the Nebraska Constitution’s single-subject requirement. The court held that the challenge was justiciable, that Planned Parenthood had standing, and that the bill’s regulation of abortion and gender-altering care constituted a single subject because both concerned regulation of permissible medical care. The court declined to decide whether Traxler independently had standing or to reach evidentiary issues unnecessary to the disposition.
