House adopts nursing-board cleanup bill that updates school rescue medications
Summary
House Bill 280, described as a Kentucky Board of Nursing cleanup bill that also updates permitted rescue medications in schools, passed the House Jan. 21, 2026, after adoption of House Committee Substitute 1.
The Kentucky House on Jan. 21 passed House Bill 280, a measure characterized by its sponsor as a cleanup and update to Kentucky Board of Nursing language and as an update to the list of rescue medications that may be present in schools.
The Lady from Kenton 64 explained the bill as correcting licensing language to allow the Kentucky Board of Nursing to investigate out-of-state nurses applying for Kentucky licensure and updating the list of permitted rescue medications in schools to include rescue inhalers, nebulizers, glucagon and an epinephrine nasal spray, among others. A House committee substitute was adopted on the floor before final passage.
The presiding officer announced the tally with no members recorded as voting nay and declared House Bill 280, as amended, passed. No detailed debate on the floor record contradicted the explainer's description.
The House adjourned until Jan. 22, 2026.
