Increases scope of practice for licensed practical nurses and patient care technicians under certain circumstances.

Summary

The bill lets licensed practical nurses at dialysis facilities perform pre‑ and post‑dialysis focal assessments that don’t require a registered nurse’s judgment, and requires any abnormal findings to be reported immediately. It also permits certified patient care technicians to administer saline and heparin under a registered nurse’s direct supervision. The changes aim to expand staff roles to improve efficiency in dialysis care.
