The Bihar Nurses Registration (Amendment) Act, 2026

The Bihar Nurses Registration (Amendment) Act, 2026, simplifies the process for nursing professionals to work in Bihar. It allows nurses, health visitors, midwives, and trained dais who are already registered with the Indian Nursing Council or other state nursing councils to practice in Bihar by submitting a self-certification. This removes the requirement for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) or fresh local registration. The Act empowers the State Government to set the format for this self-certification and grants the Council authority to suspend practitioners found guilty of misconduct. It ensures that these professionals are treated as registered nurses under the principal Act.
