Introduced Text

Transfers oversight of certified nurse aides from the Department of Health to the New Jersey Board of Nursing.

The bill modifies current law governing certified nurse aides (CNAs) by transferring the regulation of CNAs from the New Jersey Department of Health to the New Jersey Board of Nursing, which is part of the Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law and Public Safety. The Board of Nursing will now oversee CNAs, replacing the Department of Health's role. The bill also removes references to CNAs in the law currently governing the profession and in law attributing the oversight of CNAs to the Department of Health.
