High School Certified Nurse Aide Training/Certification Program; established, requirements, report.

The section number was corrected from 22.1-204.4 to 22.2-204.4 to match the final House version.

The term 'Certified nurse aide' was changed to 'Certified nurse aid' in the definition of the program title and in the definition of the term itself.

The definition of 'Educational center' was slightly broadened by removing the specific list of institution types (community colleges, etc.) to be more inclusive.

The definition of a 'Qualified high school student' was updated to require meeting requirements established by the Board of Education instead of the Board of Nursing.

Subsection B was amended to include a placeholder for funding language, indicating the program relies on appropriated funds.

Subsection C was updated to specify that the Board of Education, not the Board of Nursing, approves training programs, with the Board of Nursing only providing consultation.

Subsection D was updated to explicitly state that the Board of Education administers the program in collaboration with the Board of Nursing.

Subsection E was updated to require reports to be submitted to the 'chairmen' of the committees rather than the 'Chairs'.

Replaced all instances of 'Board of Education' with 'the Board' in definitions and administrative duties to clarify that the Board of Education and Board of Nursing share responsibility.

Changed 'student that meets' to 'student who meets' for grammatical consistency in the eligibility definition.

Updated 'deems' to 'deem' in the reporting requirements section for grammatical consistency.

Adjusted the committee reporting requirement to use 'Chairs' instead of 'chairmen' for gender-neutral language.

Added 'in the Commonwealth' to the definition of 'Educational center' to specify the geographic scope.

Minor phrasing tweaks in subdivisions B, C, and D to improve flow and clarity, such as changing 'is amended and reenacted' to 'is amended by adding a section'.

Deleted a clause restricting the program to operate only with funds specifically appropriated for it, allowing the program to proceed without a pre-set budget cap.

Removed bracketed text and formatting artifacts (such as 'House Amendments in [ ]') that were present in the draft version but are not part of the final law.

Changed the header from 'ENGROSSED' to 'ENROLLED' to reflect the bill's final status.
