Nurses; endorsement by certain certified nurses deemed endorsement by physician for K-12 school athletic participation physicals; schools prohibited from being member of athletic association that refuses to comply

SB 110 allows certified nurse practitioners and nurse midwives to endorse physical examination forms for K-12 student athletic participation, treating these endorsements as equivalent to physician signatures. Public schools must accept these nurse-endorsed forms for athletic eligibility, and schools cannot join athletic associations that refuse to accept them. The bill amends Alabama law to specifically include school sports physicals under existing nurse practitioner endorsement rules, ensuring consistency with other medical forms. This directly affects public K-12 schools, athletic associations, and certified nursing professionals providing student health services.
