HB 24-1441

House Bill 24-1441 adjusts the composition of Colorado's State Board of Nursing by removing an outdated reference that incorrectly states the number of board members. Currently, the board will have 12 members starting July 1, 2024, after an additional member is added due to a previous law about certified midwives. The bill has been signed into law and will take effect on July 1, 2024, ensuring that all references accurately reflect the new size of the board. This change affects how the State Board of Nursing operates but does not directly impact most voters beyond clarifying its structure.
