What AB 2096 does, verified March 10, 2026
This bill aims to allow licensed vocational nurses to perform a full range of respiratory tasks and services, consistent with their existing scope of practice. The bill would remove exemptions that currently limit the scope of practice for licensed vocational nurses in respiratory care.

The bill would make conforming changes to reflect these changes in the law.
