A 12-week abortion ban based on gestational age will take effect in Nebraska Tuesday because of legislation Gov. Jim Pillen signed into law Monday.

Joined at the signing ceremony by about 25 state senators who backed the legislation, Pillen signed Legislative Bill 574 into law. An emergency clause in the bill will enact the abortion ban immediately, while restrictions on gender-affirming care for individuals under 19 won’t take effect until Oct. 1.

“LB 574 is the most significant win for social conservative agenda in over a generation in the state of Nebraska,” Pillen said at the bill’s signing ceremony.
