Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill allows a school superintendent to nominate and a school board to appoint a school nurse, provided that nurse is a registered professional nurse currently licensed by the board of nursing in New Hampshire, which is the state's regulatory body for nurses. This change effectively removes the requirement for school nurses to obtain a separate license from the Department of Education, which previously cost $120 for a three-year period and generated an estimated $18,000 in annual revenue for the Education Credentialing Fund. The bill is intended to streamline the certification process for school nurses while ensuring they maintain professional licensure.
