NH HB208

Removes the requirement for school nurses to obtain a separate license from the Department of Education, instead requiring only current registration as a professional nurse with the New Hampshire Board of Nursing

Grants superintendents authority to nominate school nurses and school boards authority to appoint them, with responsibility to provide proper facilities and equipment

Results in an estimated $18,000 annual decrease in revenue to the Education Credentialing Fund starting in FY 2027, based on approximately 450 current license holders paying $120 for 3-year licenses

Takes effect upon passage, with implementation assumed for the 2026-2027 school year
