SCHOOLS/EMPLOYEES: Requires in-service training for school nurses on caring for students with sickle cell disease (EN NO IMPACT See Note)
This bill amends a state statute to require school nurses to receive in-service training on caring for students with sickle cell disease. The change directly affects school nurses by updating the legal reference in the relevant code section from R.S. 17:236.5 to R.S. 17:436.5. While the text indicates the bill has no practical impact, it formally modifies the existing law to ensure the correct citation is used for the training requirement.
