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 clinical judgment, provided that the nurse overseeing the delegation ensures that the non-nurse is qualified and adequately trained for the task. The bill defines these tasks as duties for which the non-nurse has received formal training and certification from a recognized 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.
