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

This bill amends New Jersey law to allow licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and other licensed medical professionals to provide nursing services in nonpublic schools, expanding beyond the previous requirement that only registered nurses could deliver these services. It directly affects nonpublic schools (like private or religious schools) and their nursing staff by permitting LPNs to conduct required services such as dental screenings, hearing exams, scoliosis screenings for students aged 10-18, and maintaining health records. The bill maintains existing requirements for specific health services while updating who can deliver them, ensuring services align with each professional’s scope of practice. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
