Bill Summary

An act to amend Sections 2860 and 3765 of the Business and Professions Code, and to amend Section 49423.5 of the Education Code, relating to professions and vocations.

AI Summary

This bill would allow licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) to perform respiratory tasks and services consistent with their scope of practice as it existed on December 31, 2022, effectively reversing recent limitations imposed by Chapter 624 of the Statutes of 2022 (SB 1436). Previously, SB 1436 restricted LVNs to only basic respiratory tasks that did not require a respiratory assessment and only involved manual skills or data collection, with specific exemptions for certain circumstances. This bill aims to restore the broader ability of LVNs to provide respiratory care, removing the previously established exemptions and conforming changes related to these services.
