Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 6 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Child day care can give inhalers
Child day care licensees and staff can give inhaled medicines to children. Staff must have formal training. The medicine must meet the legal definition of an inhaled medication in Health and Safety Code Section 1596.798.
Home respiratory help from staff or family
Employees of home medical device retailers and licensed home health agencies can perform specific, limited basic respiratory services that the board authorizes. Patients may care for themselves. A friend or family member may give free care if they do not present themselves as a licensed respiratory care practitioner.
LVNs can provide more respiratory care
A licensed vocational nurse (LVN) employed by a home health agency may perform board-identified respiratory tasks after patient-specific training. Before January 1, 2028, the employer decides if the training is satisfactory. Starting January 1, 2028, the employer must provide patient-specific training that follows board guidelines issued by that date. Beginning January 1, 2028, LVNs who hold current competency certifications may provide these services in settings like small congregate living health facilities, home health, intermediate care, pediatric day health, small family homes, and during transport or community activities.
More school health help for students
Schools can assign more trained people to help students with exceptional health needs during the regular schoolday. Designated staff work under a credentialed school nurse, a public health nurse, or a licensed physician. Tasks must be routine, low risk, have predictable results, and not need nursing assessment or decisionmaking. Licensed vocational nurses may perform suctioning and other basic respiratory services in schools under a credentialed school nurse. Anyone who provides these services must be competent in basic CPR and know local emergency resources.
More respiratory help in emergencies and training
Paramedical personnel with formal training and a current license can provide respiratory care in emergencies. During an epidemic, pandemic, disaster, or emergency, the board can temporarily authorize other health workers or students to give respiratory care. Students enrolled in approved respiratory therapy programs can perform respiratory care that is part of their training.
Respiratory practice and research updates
Licensed respiratory care practitioners can use new or advanced techniques they learned through formal or specialized training. People may conduct cardiopulmonary research under regulatory oversight. In Los Angeles County hospitals, current employees who have performed pulmonary function testing for at least 15 years can perform that testing.
