Alters procedure for reimbursing nurses who provide nonpublic school nursing services in certain circumstances.

This bill changes how school districts in New Jersey reimburse nurses who provide services to nonpublic schools. If certain conditions are met, the school district can distribute state aid directly to the nurse. These conditions include the nonpublic school providing valid documentation of the nurse's licensure and hours worked, and an agreement to assume liability if the nurse is not a licensed registered nurse. The bill does not apply to districts that had agreements in place for the 2020-2021 school year before the bill's effective date.
