Nurses; endorsement by certain certified nurses deemed endorsement by physician for K-12 school athletic participation physicals; schools prohibited from being member of athletic association that refuses to comply

Summary

The bill changes state law so a certified registered nurse practitioner or certified nurse midwife can endorse a student’s physical exam for K‑12 athletics in place of a physician’s signature. Public schools could not belong to any athletic association that refuses to accept those nurse‑signed forms. The change is intended to expand access to required physicals while keeping schools in leagues that recognize the new endorsement.
