This bill amends Section 54-1402 of the Idaho Code, specifically revising the definition of "licensed practical nurse." The amendment replaces the phrase "Contributing to the" with "Performing delegated" in the context of assessments of health status. This change clarifies the role of licensed practical nurses in performing assessments as part of their responsibilities under the direction of licensed healthcare professionals.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that the act will take effect on July 1, 2025. This expedited timeline indicates the legislature's intent to implement the changes promptly to ensure clarity in the definitions and roles within the nursing profession in Idaho.
