DSPS renewal dates; continuing education; nursing workforce survey
Under current law, a two-year renewal period applies to many health and business credentials administered by DSPS or a credentialing board. The renewal date for each two-year period is specified by statute. In addition, the laws governing some professions specify continuing education requirements, either by statute or by rule, as part of credentialing renewal.
This bill eliminates statutory renewal dates for these credentials and instead allows DSPS, in consultation with the credentialing boards, to establish renewal dates. The bill makes various changes to continuing education requirements for various professions to account for the flexible renewal periods allowed in the bill, including allowing DSPS and the credentialing boards to adjust continuing education requirements and to establish interim continuing education or other reporting requirements as needed to align with changes to renewal cycles.
Under current law, in order to renew a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse license, a licensee must complete and submit to DSPS with the application for renewal of the license a nursing workforce survey developed by DWD, completed to the satisfaction of the Board of Nursing, along with a nursing workforce survey fee of $4. The bill modifies this requirement so that it no longer applies specifically as a condition of renewal of a nurse license.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
