Resolve, Regarding Legislative Review Of Chapter 6: Delegation Of Nursing Activities And Tasks To Unlicensed Assistive Personnel By Registered Professional Nurses, A Major Substantive Rule Of The Department Of Professional And Financial Regulation, State Board Of Nursing

This resolve authorizes the final adoption of a rule (Chapter 6) that sets standards for registered nurses in Maine delegating nursing tasks to unlicensed assistive personnel. The rule was submitted to the Legislature for review under Maine law, requiring legislative approval before it could take effect. The Legislature passed this as an emergency to bypass a standard 90-day delay, ensuring the rule can be implemented without waiting. This procedural action does not alter the rule’s content but enables its enforcement.
