Bill > A1906

This bill alters the procedure for reimbursing nurses who provide nursing services to nonpublic schools in certain circumstances. The key provisions are: 1. The state aid provided to a school district for nonpublic school nursing services must be distributed directly to the individual nurse if the nonpublic school provides the school district with documentation of the nurse's credentials and the hours worked, and submits an attestation and liability agreement. If these conditions are not met, the school district cannot distribute the state aid directly to the nurse. 2. This new procedure applies to school districts that renew or enter into new agreements for nonpublic school nursing services starting in the 2023-2024 school year and beyond. School districts that had an agreement in place for the 2022-2023 school year are exempt from this new procedure. 3. The bill clarifies that the school district can still use the state aid for administrative purposes and that the "Public School Contracts Law" still applies when the school district enters into an agreement for nonpublic school nursing services.
