House Bill 37

Utah Nurse Practitioners,

UNP has elected to support Utah Nurses Association (UNA) in their opposition to Dunnigan/Bramble's House Bill 37. It has been proposed that the wording of the bill be amended by deleting lines 449-553.

• 449 [(4) (a) The director shall appoint an individual to serve as an ex officio member of the 450 Board of Nursing to represent the position of the division in matters considered by the board.]
• 451 [(b) The ex officio member shall be a licensed registered nurse, shall have earned a 452 masters degree in nursing, and shall have a minimum of five years of experience working in 453 nursing administration or nursing education.]

Please stand in support of UNA and contact your legislative representative. Let them know that you feel a nurse should retain the position of Ex Officio on the Board of Nursing. Let your representative know that you do not want the wording of the bill amended.
