AI Summary
This bill establishes the Kansas nursing initiative grant program, administered by the state board of regents, to provide financial support to postsecondary educational institutions with nursing programs. To be eligible, institutions must have a nursing program that is both nationally accredited and approved by the board of nursing, and they must provide a dollar-for-dollar funding match. The grants can be used for a variety of purposes, including purchasing nursing program supplies and equipment, paying instructor salaries (including adjunct clinical instructors), funding professional development, and supporting student services like NCLEX test preparation, tutoring, and childcare assistance. Institutions can apply for grants up to $100,000, and the state board will establish standards for reviewing and approving applications. Each grant recipient will be required to submit periodic reports to the state board detailing statistical and financial information about their use of the funds. The primary goal of the program is to support and expand nursing education in Kansas by providing resources to help institutions maintain and improve their nursing programs.
