The bill amends Section 54-1402 of the Idaho Code to revise the definition of "licensed practical nurse." Specifically, it replaces the phrase "Contributing to the" with "Performing appropriate delegated focused" in the context of assessments of the health status of individuals and groups. This change aims to clarify the responsibilities and scope of practice for licensed practical nurses, ensuring that their role in health assessments is more accurately defined.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This expedited timeline suggests a pressing need for the changes to be implemented, likely to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of nursing practices in Idaho.
