Transfers oversight to certified nurse aides from DOH to Board of Nursing.

This bill shifts regulatory oversight of certified nurse aides from the Department of Health to the Board of Nursing in New Jersey. It requires healthcare facilities to notify the relevant oversight body when a nurse aide faces disciplinary actions, license restrictions, or other issues related to patient care or professional misconduct. The law also mandates reporting when aides voluntarily resign, are placed on leave due to health concerns, or are involved in malpractice settlements, while excluding personal conduct unrelated to patient safety from these requirements. Additionally, the bill ensures that staffing agencies receive copies of notices when nurse aides are employed through such agencies.
