What This Bill Does

It keeps the Board of Nursing operating through October 1, 2021 and preserves the existing sections. It amends Section 34-21-2 so professional nurse seats are filled from nominees provided by the Alabama State Nurses’ Association or its successor, and four Licensed Practical Nurse seats are filled from lists supplied by the Licensed Practical Nurses Association of Alabama (two seats) and the Alabama Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses (two seats), with each list containing at least twice the number of nominees needed.

Who It Affects
  • Licensed practical nurses in Alabama, whose associations will nominate candidates for two board seats (via the LPN Association of Alabama and the Alabama Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses or their successor organizations).
  • Registered professional nurses in Alabama, whose board seats are filled from nominees provided by the Alabama State Nurses' Association or its successor organization.
  • The Alabama Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses, the Alabama State Nurses' Association, and the Licensed Practical Nurses Association of Alabama (and their successor organizations), which provide the nomination lists for board appointments.
Key Provisions
  • Continuation of the Board of Nursing through October 1, 2021 and preservation of the existing code sections governing the board.
  • Amendment to Section 34-21-2 allowing successor organizations to nominate candidates for Licensed Practical Nurse seats on the board and detailing the nomination process and seat distribution.
