Statute and status in Nebraska

Statute / authority: Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-6,197 — "body fluids" language

Nebraska courts interpret § 60-6,197 broadly; case law references "body fluid" testing under implied consent. Not blood/breath/urine only. Oral fluid use possible at agency level though no confirmed statewide program.

What this means for agencies in Nebraska

Nebraska's statute is broad enough to permit oral fluid, but there is no statewide program, so adoption sits with individual agencies and prosecutors. Agencies piloting saliva screening here should pair every roadside result with a preserved specimen and documented chain of custody, so a case never rests on the screen alone.
