If any part of this act is found to be in conflict with federal requirements that are a prescribed condition to the allocation of federal funds to the state, the conflicting part of this act is inoperative solely to the extent of the conflict and with respect to the agencies directly affected, and this finding does not affect the operation of the remainder of this act in its application to the agencies concerned.  Rules adopted under this act must meet federal requirements that are a necessary condition to the receipt of federal funds by the state."

EFFECT:   Limits the authority to prefill insulin syringes for nonresidents in boarding homes to licensed nurses and allows non-nurses to hand prefilled insulin syringes to the non-residents.
