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 properly qualified and trained. The bill defines "tasks that do not involve the exercise of independent clinical 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 legislation aims to clarify the delegation process within nursing practice, enhancing the ability of nurses to manage their responsibilities while ensuring patient safety and care quality.
