S 4680 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits nursing services in nonpublic schools to be delivered by licensed medical professionals, including licensed practical nurses.

This bill changes who can provide nursing services in New Jersey's nonpublic schools (like private or religious schools). Currently, only registered nurses may deliver these services, but the bill permits licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and other licensed medical professionals to do so, as long as it fits within their scope of practice. The law affects nonpublic school students who need routine health screenings, emergency care, or health record maintenance. It updates existing regulations to expand the pool of qualified providers without altering the specific health services required.
