This bill amends Chapter 14, Title 54 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 54-1421, which allows licensed nurses to delegate certain tasks to non-nurses. Specifically, the bill stipulates that nurses may delegate tasks that do not require independent medical judgment, provided that the nurse maintains proper supervision and ensures that the non-nurse is qualified and adequately trained. The bill defines "tasks that do not involve the exercise of independent medical judgment" as duties for which the individual has received formal training and certification from an acceptable national organization.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This legislative change aims to enhance the efficiency of nursing practices by allowing nurses to delegate appropriate tasks, thereby potentially improving patient care and resource management within healthcare settings.
