An Act amending the act of May 22, 1951 (P.L.317, No.69), known as The Professional Nursing Law, further providing for examinations and certificates; and abrogating regulations.

SB 891 amends Pennsylvania's Professional Nursing Law to streamline the licensing process for nursing applicants. It requires the Board of Nursing to immediately admit eligible applicants who have completed an approved nursing program and provided verification, removing administrative delays. The bill specifically abrogates two existing regulations (49 Pa. Code §§ 21.21 and 21.23) that conflicted with this new requirement. This change directly affects nursing applicants and the Board of Nursing, ensuring timely exam access for qualified candidates. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
