A 1032 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits school boards to employ advanced practice nurse as medical inspector.

This bill (A1032) amends New Jersey law to allow school boards to hire advanced practice nurses (APNs) as school medical inspectors, instead of requiring them to hire only licensed physicians. Currently, school boards must employ a physician for this role; the bill expands eligibility to include APNs who are licensed in New Jersey. This change directly affects school districts statewide, giving them more flexibility in staffing their health services. The policy change takes effect immediately upon enactment, updating the existing requirement under N.J.S.18A:40-1.
