What Nebraska law says
Nebraska Revised Statute §25-21,200 states that a “surrogate parenthood contract” entered into is void and unenforceable. The same section defines that term as a contract under which a woman is to be compensated for bearing a child of a man who is not her husband.
Why the red classification appears on the state index: Nebraska has an express statutory non-enforceability rule for the category defined in §25-21,200. The classification does not expand that definition or answer every assisted-reproduction and parentage question.
What this means for a prospective carrier
The exact proposed agreement and compensation structure should be reviewed by Nebraska reproductive counsel before anyone assumes whether the statute applies. Do not rely on a generic statement that “surrogacy is illegal” or, in the other direction, assume that a contract drafted under another state's law avoids Nebraska issues.
