The Board of County Commissioners approved a standard affiliation agreement with the University of Montana to allow student nurses to work at county public-health sites. County staff described the agreement as a standard affiliation addressing liability and insurance so that the county is not responsible for students' workers' compensation.
A staff member said, "This agreement is with the University of Montana. It just covers insurance, liabilities, provides that, you know, the county isn't responsible for them. They're covered by the university's workers comp and that sort of thing." The board approved the affiliation agreement by voice vote; the transcript does not show a numerical vote count.
