NURSES: Provide relative to licensing by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing
Read by title, under the rules, referred to the Committee on Health and Welfare.
Summary
The measure amends state law to list specific grounds on which the Louisiana State Board of Nursing can discipline or limit a nurse’s license, including criminal convictions, incompetence, and substance‑use issues. It also creates a pathway for nurses whose licenses were suspended for substance‑use disorders to be reinstated by submitting an independent medical evaluation. The board must recognize medication‑assisted treatment as valid care and cannot deny reinstatement solely because a nurse is using such treatment.
