House Bill 456 amends the Government Code to establish that certain services provided under the voucher payment program for the delivery of state-funded and Medicaid-funded services to persons with disabilities may be provided by a person without a nursing license in certain circumstances if the services would have been performed by the person with disabilities, or that person's parent or guardian, except for the disability. The bill requires the Board of Nurse Examiners to appoint a task force to review and make recommendations on certain issues related to the provision of health maintenance tasks to persons with functional disabilities.
