Bill overview
This bill amends California law to allow licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) to provide basic respiratory services to students with exceptional needs in certain educational settings. Specifically, LVNs, under the supervision of a credentialed school nurse, can perform suctioning and other essential respiratory tasks. The bill also updates existing regulations to clarify these provisions and establish timelines for implementing them, including requirements for LVN training and certification. This change aims to improve access to respiratory support for students with specific health needs within the school environment.
