- HB 382 (Brosnahan / Maloney) - Amends the Nursing Education Scholarship Law and the Nurse Practice Act.
HB 382 requires the Department of Public Health to provide nurse educator scholarships among the scholarships offered for nursing, to be awarded for a period of up to 3 years. [NOTE: The program would be substantively similar to the Nurse Educator Scholarship Program administered by ISAC, but funded by a different source. The ISAC program receives General Revenue Funds, whereas the program under this bill would be funded by professional fees paid by nurses into the Nursing Dedicated and Professional Fund .] The bill also requires the Department of Public Health to maintain a database of all available nurse educator positions in this State. Finally, it provides that for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009 and for each fiscal year thereafter, $2,000,000 (instead of $1,200,000) of the moneys deposited in the Nursing Dedicated and Professional Fund each year shall be set aside and appropriated for nursing scholarships. The bill's provisions would take effect immediately.
