House Bill No. introduced by M. Caferro establishes the Montana Nurse Corps Act, which aims to create a program for licensed nurses to provide affordable home health care visits to eligible individuals, particularly those enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid, as well as uninsured individuals with family incomes below 400% of the federal poverty level. The bill outlines the eligibility criteria for nurses to participate in the program, the services they can offer, and the charges they may impose, which are capped at $10 per visit. Additionally, it includes provisions for liability limitations for nurses providing care under this program, ensuring they are not held liable for ordinary negligence.

The bill also allows for the procurement of malpractice insurance for nurse corps members, with the costs covered by fees assessed on all licensed nurses. It specifies that the insurance does not cover services provided to ineligible individuals or those who have not submitted the required information to the board. The legislation includes a mechanism for disciplinary action against nurses who do not comply with the program's requirements, and it is intended to be codified as part of Title 37, chapter 8 of the Montana Code.
