Hawaii SB1242 establishes a nurse recertification pilot program and funds nursing scholarships.
Hawaii SB1242 mandates the Department of Health to create a five-year nurse recertification pilot program. This program aims to help nurses who want to return to work but have lapsed certifications by facilitating their recertification or issuing temporary licenses. The Department of Health must submit interim reports on the pilot program's status to the legislature in 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029, and a final report in 2030. Additionally, the bill allocates funds for nursing scholarships, requiring recipients to teach nursing in Hawaii post-graduation.
