S 1459 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Alters procedure for reimbursing nurses who provide nonpublic school nursing services in certain circumstances.

This bill changes how New Jersey school districts distribute state funds for nursing services provided to students at nonpublic schools. It allows districts to pay individual registered nurses directly (instead of using district funds) if the nonpublic school provides proof the nurse is licensed, documents actual hours worked, and signs an agreement accepting liability if the nurse's credentials are later disputed. The new process applies to agreements renewed or created for the 2021-2022 school year and beyond, but not to existing agreements from 2020-2021. It does not affect a district's ability to use these funds for administrative costs.
