Summary

Proposed revisions to 485:10-8-1 align rule language with HB 3328 (2024) revisions to the Oklahoma Nursing Practice Act related to fingerprint-based background check requirements. The revisions to 485:10-10-1 correct an outdated statutory reference and the proper title name of AUAs, changing the title from advanced unlicensed assistive personnel to Advanced Unlicensed Assistant as has already occurred in other areas of this subchapter. The change made in 485:10-10-2 was only to also correct the proper title to Advanced Unlicensed Assistant. Emergency rules expiring September 14, 2025, are being made permanent in 485:10-11-4, to align rule language with state statute in the Oklahoma Nursing Practice Act. The proposed changes will ensure protection of the general public through nursing regulation and minimize barriers to licensing and certification in a way that is consistent with state statute.
