What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows only medical personnel with credentials equal to or greater than

those of a licensed practical nurse to administer or distribute prescription

medication to a person placed in a juvenile correctional facility or secured residential

care center for children and youth.

This bill exempts from this limitation insulin

dispensed pursuant to a prescription. Current law does not specify the personnel

who are authorized to distribute or administer medication in these facilities.
