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 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 nonpublic schools to notify relevant parties of their intent to participate in the consortium and requires the consortium to assure compliance with nursing responsibilities.

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 appointed by state leaders, will monitor the consortium's operations. Furthermore, the commissioner is required to submit a report two years after the program's initiation, detailing its implementation and providing recommendations on its continuation and potential expansion statewide.
