Nebraska Workplace Privacy Act
active

This social media password law bars employers from demanding access to employees' or applicants' personal online accounts, making them log in in front of the employer, forcing them to add the employer as a contact or change privacy settings, or retaliating for refusals. Employers keep rights over their own devices, accounts, and networks and may investigate specific misconduct.
