SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Preschool physical examinations. Allows a licensed nurse practitioner acting under the supervision of a licensed physician to provide a report of a comprehensive physical examination of a pupil within the 12 months prior to the date the pupil first enters such public kindergarten or elementary school. In addition, the licensed nurse practitioner may summarize any abnormal physical findings and indicate any conditions that might identify the pupil as disabled in the report. Currently, this reporting responsibility is limited to licensed physicians. Pursuant to § 22.1-178, nurse practitioners may currently perform and sign the report of the results of physical examinations required for the employment of school bus drivers. This measure is identical to HB 1438.
