Adopts health worker act, athletic trainer compact
Summary
The Nebraska Legislature has enacted LB912, adopting the Community Health Worker Training Endorsement Act, the Athletic Trainer Compact, and the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact. The bill also modifies licensing provisions for child care, massage therapy, medical radiography, nurse practitioners, pharmacy, and pharmacists, and authorizes automated prescription medication pickup kiosks.
What changed
LB912 enacts three new compact/act frameworks: the Community Health Worker Training Endorsement Act establishes training standards for community health workers; the Athletic Trainer Compact enables interstate practice for athletic trainers; and the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact allows respiratory care practitioners to practice across state lines. The bill also amends Nebraska's child care licensing provisions and practice regulations for massage therapy, medical radiography, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists.
Healthcare employers and practitioners in Nebraska should review new credentialing and practice requirements under these adopted acts and compacts. The interstate compacts may enable qualified athletic trainers and respiratory care practitioners to obtain multi-state licensure. Entities operating prescription medication kiosks should ensure compliance with newly established kiosk authorization provisions.
What to do next
- Review new Community Health Worker Training Endorsement Act requirements for applicable training programs
- Verify eligibility for multi-state licensure under the Athletic Trainer and Respiratory Care Interstate Compacts
- Update pharmacy operations to comply with automated pickup kiosk provisions
