Arguments in favor
Reasons to support this legislation.
The supporters of HB 5023 argue that increasing licensure fees will help the Oregon State Board of Nursing achieve financial stability, allowing for more efficient allocation of resources to support nursing education and professional development. By reducing investigation timelines, the board can also improve patient safety and reduce the burden on nurses who often face lengthy and complex investigations. Proponents of the bill contend that this increased funding will ultimately benefit patients by ensuring that nurses have access to the training and support they need to provide high-quality care, while also maintaining the integrity of the nursing profession.
