An Act relating to the licensure of nursing professionals; relating to a multistate nurse licensure compact; relating to employment of nurses holding a multistate licensure privilege; relating to nurse staffing committees; relating to the ratio of nurses to patients in hospitals; relating to entities regulated by the Department of Health; and providing for an effective date.

HB 351 adjusts Alaska's nursing license fee structure to better align with regulatory costs. It requires that fees for single-state nursing licenses cover the full cost of regulation, while fees for multistate licenses (allowing nurses to practice across state lines) cover only half of those costs. This directly affects nursing professionals holding these licenses and the Department of Health, which sets and collects these fees. The bill also references broader nursing practice topics like staffing ratios, but the provided text primarily details these fee adjustments.
