The Practice Committee of the Kansas Board of Nursing approved the Dec. 10, 2024 minutes, accepted consent items including the practice calls report, and voted to finalize language for multiple Kansas Administrative Regulations (KAR) that govern licensure and practice.

The committee approved the minutes and consent agenda by voice vote, with motions carried as recorded in the meeting. Committee members then moved, by voice vote, to approve final language for the following KAR provisions listed in the packet: KAR 60-7-101 (licensure); KAR 60-7-102 (duplicate of initial license); KAR 60-7-103 (change of name); KAR 60-7-104 (reinstatement of license); KAR 60-7-105 (standards of practice); KAR 60-7-108 (inactive license); KAR 60-7-109 (exempt license); KAR 60-7-110 (expiration dates of licenses and applications); and KAR 60-11 (reporting certain misdemeanor convictions).

The approvals were completed by voice vote; the transcript does not record roll-call tallies or named movers and seconders. The committee chair (identified in the transcript as "K.") called for those votes and confirmed the motions carried.

Committee members also reviewed a separate five-year legislative regulation review packet (KAR 60-15-1100 series referenced in discussion). Committee members were advised to defer final action on that five-year review until the full Board provides direction following its meeting the next day. The committee noted the five-year review items are routine periodic reviews required to ensure regulations align with current statutes and practice.

Other administrative items on the agenda included scheduling and the consent packet, which the committee accepted with no further substantive amendments noted in the transcript.

Looking ahead, the committee’s next scheduled meeting reference in the discussion is June 10 (year not specified in the transcript) and committee members noted rescheduling of a presentation from the Kansas Midwives Alliance.
