AI Generated Summary

This bill, Minnesota Senate File No. 1643, proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 148.212, subdivision 1. The amendment seeks to extend the validity period of temporary permits for nurses from 60 days to 90 days. These temporary permits are issued to applicants for licensure or reregistration who meet specific qualifications, such as being currently licensed in another state, territory, or Canadian province, and who are not under investigation or disciplinary action. The permits remain valid until the Board of Nursing takes action on the application or for the newly proposed 90-day period, whichever comes first.
