This bill amends the requirements for licensed nurse assistant (LNA) licensure application materials by providing an additional option for applicants. Specifically, it modifies RSA 326-B:19, I to allow candidates to submit documentation of successful completion of either a board-approved nursing assistant education program or the fundamentals of nursing curriculum (or its equivalent) from a board-approved nursing education program. The new legal language inserted into the current law includes provisions for the fundamentals of nursing curriculum, while no existing language is deleted.

The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage and is noted to have no fiscal impact on state, county, or local expenditures or revenue, as confirmed by the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant. No agencies were contacted regarding this bill.
