Genetic Sequencing Foreign Adversary Restrictions

Enacted in LB644 (2025), this law bars Nebraska medical and research facilities from using genetic sequencers or sequencing software produced by foreign adversaries (as listed in 15 C.F.R. 791.4) or their state-owned or domiciled businesses, and requires existing equipment to be disabled or removed. Genetic sequencing data used in Nebraska may not be stored in, or remotely accessed from, a foreign adversary country.
