relative to school health services.

This bill proposes updating the requirements for school nurses in New Hampshire by adding a mandate that they must be certified by the state board of education in addition to holding a current nursing license. The legislation would allow school superintendents to nominate and school boards to appoint these nurses to manage school health programs while ensuring they have the necessary facilities and equipment. If passed, the changes would take effect 60 days after the bill becomes law. However, the bill was recently referred for an interim study, meaning it has not yet been approved for future legislative action.
