Board of Nursing Ms. Patricia Howard-Chittams Confirmation Resolution of 2026

This bill formally confirms the reappointment of Ms. Patricia Howard-Chittams as a member of the District of Columbia Board of Nursing for a term ending July 21, 2029. The resolution, proposed by Mayor Muriel Bowser, follows the standard confirmation process required by the District's Health Occupations Revision Act. The Council of the District of Columbia is asked to officially approve her continued service on the board, which regulates nursing practice in the District. The bill is a procedural confirmation measure that does not change existing laws or policies but rather completes the administrative process for appointing a qualified nurse practitioner to the regulatory board.
