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

This bill, S 1368, changes how state funds for nursing services in nonpublic schools are distributed. It allows school districts to pay licensed nurses directly - rather than keeping the funds - when nonpublic schools provide required proof: the nurse’s valid license, documented service hours, and a signed agreement accepting liability if the nurse’s credentials are later disputed. The policy applies only to new or renewed agreements starting in the 2021-2022 school year or later, not to existing 2020-2021 agreements. It ensures reimbursement flows directly to nurses while requiring nonpublic schools to verify credentials and assume potential liability.
