Enacts GS 115C-315(d2), allowing licensed registered nurses with at least two years' experience serving in a hospital or health clinic to serve as a school nurse. Prohibits requiring these nurses to possess or promise to obtain any other certification or license as a condition of serving as a school nurse. Requires such registered nurses employed by the unit's governing body to be paid under the certified school nurse pay scale established by the State Board of Education (State Board).

Repeals GS 115C-315(d1), which requires school nurses not certified by the American Nurses' Association or the National Association of School Nurses to continue to be paid based on the noncertified nurse salary range established by the State Board.

Grants the State Board authority to adopt temporary implementing rules.
