▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation updates the statutory language regarding the delegation of tasks by registered nurses (RNs) to licensed practical nurses (LPNs). Specifically, it removes the term "contributing to" and incorporates "performing appropriate delegated focused assessment" to clarify the scope of tasks an LPN can perform under the delegation of an RN. The purpose of this change is to better reflect the practical roles and responsibilities of LPNs, enhance clarity in their scope of practice, and ensure alignment with current standards of nursing practice. This amendment supports improved collaboration within the nursing profession while maintaining patient safety and quality care.

▶ Show fiscal note

This legislation causes no increase or decrease in revenue, or additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government; therefore, this legislation has no fiscal impact.
