MODERATE
The bill was finalized from its A-Engrossed version to the Enrolled version with minor formatting updates and one substantive addition. The most significant change is the addition of a new provision allowing administrators and non-nurse staff to confer with school nurses on nursing practice and student safety issues, which was previously omitted in the A-Engrossed version. The bill clarifies that while administrators can supervise school nurses on administrative matters, they cannot direct clinical nursing practice.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on school nursing supervision, but the Enrolled version expands administrative authority to include conferring on nursing practice and student safety issues.
REQUIREMENT
