Board staff told the Kansas State Board of Nursing that House Bill 24‑78, described as a fingerprint bill, would add advanced practice registered nurses and certified registered nurse anesthetists to the list of licensees for whom the board may collect both state and federal background information.
Carol said the change was recommended after an FBI audit and that the House Health and Human Services Committee scheduled a hearing for the bill next Tuesday. She told members the fiscal note shows no expected increase in expenditures or revenue for the board.
Staff invited questions; no substantive objections were raised in the meeting transcript. Carol said she had emailed the three bills to members in advance and would circulate hearing links.
