LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 3016, as amended, Megan Dahle.
Board of Registered Nursing: online license verification.
The Nursing Practice Act provides for the licensure and regulation of nurses by the Board of Registered Nursing within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law also requires the board to issue temporary or expedited licenses to specified applicants who hold a current, active, and unrestricted license in another state, district, or territory of the United States, in the profession or vocation for which the applicant seeks a license from the board.
This bill would require the board to consult with the department no later than July 1, 2021, and develop recommendations for the implementation of the Nursys online license verification system for verifying the licenses of California nurses seeking to practice outside the state. The bill would require the board to implement those recommendations within a reasonable
period.
