This bill establishes a three-year pilot program for nursing services in nonpublic schools within eligible counties, specifically targeting counties of the first class with populations exceeding 950,000. The Commissioner of Education is tasked with supervising and funding this program through a county consortium of nonpublic schools. The Department of Education will directly disburse funds to the county consortium equivalent to the nonpublic nursing services aid that would typically be allocated to school districts for nursing services provided to students in these nonpublic schools. Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the county consortium and the nonpublic schools, including the prohibition of courtesy nursing services by nonpublic schools participating in the consortium.

To ensure accountability and oversight, the bill mandates the commissioner to contract with an independent entity for annual audits of the pilot program's implementation, with reports submitted to the commissioner, Governor, and Legislature. An oversight committee consisting of five members will also be established to monitor the program's operations. Furthermore, the commissioner is required to report on the pilot program's implementation and provide recommendations on its continuation and potential expansion two years after its initiation.
