Bill > SB773

This bill amends Section 2710.5 of the California Business and Professions Code to remove the existing requirement that the Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) obtain permission from the Director of the Department of Consumer Affairs before forming advisory committees. Under current law, the BRN needed administrative approval to create committees that provide advice on implementing the Nursing Practice Act, but this bill would allow the board to independently establish such advisory committees without seeking prior permission. The bill maintains the existing provision that members of these advisory committees are eligible to receive per diem compensation and expense reimbursement as outlined in Section 103. This change appears to grant the Board of Registered Nursing more autonomy in seeking expert guidance and consultation by streamlining the process of forming advisory committees.
