Committee advances bill clarifying only registered nurses may supervise school nursing tasks
Summary
House Bill 2,948 (dash‑2), clarifying that in school settings only registered nurses may supervise nursing tasks and not school administrators or other faculty, was adopted by the committee and sent to the House floor with a due‑pass recommendation.
The committee held a work session on House Bill 2,948, a measure introduced by Vice Chair Nelson clarifying that in school settings only a registered nurse may supervise a nurse’s duties rather than a school administrator or other faculty.
Committee members adopted the dash‑2 amendment (02/21/2025), which replaces the introduced measure while preserving its intent. Vice Chair Javidy moved adoption; committee members and stakeholders worked on the language with the Oregon Board of Nursing. After adopting the amendment, the committee voted to send the bill to the House floor with a due‑pass recommendation.
Committee leadership said the amendment reflected stakeholder negotiations and technical fixes to ensure clarity on delegation and supervision consistent with nursing statutes and school operations. The bill will be carried by Representative Nelson to the floor.
