This bill would make permanent the authority for school health demonstration projects authorized by Chapter 198 of the Laws of 1978 by repealing section 4.

It has been established beyond a doubt the necessity and cost efficiency of school based health services.

In addition, this bill allows for the expanded practice of nursing in a controlled setting and should be maintained.
