Explanation
(This amendment provides funding and language for the Board of Nursing to waive the cost of licensure renewal fees for certified nurse aides. Certified nurse aides are experiencing increased licensure renewal fees to cover the costs associated with investigations and adjudication of disciplinary cases under the Administrative Process Act. Recent increases in renewal fees have created a hardship on certified nurse aides due to the low wages these aides receive.)
