NURSES – Adds to existing law to provide for nurses to delegate tasks to non-nurses under certain conditions.

Idaho's H 327 allows licensed nurses to delegate specific tasks to non-nurse healthcare workers, such as nursing assistants, provided those tasks don't require independent clinical judgment. The bill requires nurses to ensure delegated tasks are within the non-nurse's formal training and certification (verified by a national organization), and mandates ongoing nurse supervision. It directly affects healthcare facilities and staff by expanding task delegation protocols under defined safety conditions. The law becomes effective July 1, 2025, after being signed by the governor in March 2025.
