K-12 school athletics physicals; endorsements by certified registered nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and assistants to physicians deemed endorsement by physician, athletic associations, clubs, or leagues prohibited from refusing to accept

Summary

The bill changes state law so that a physical exam form for a student’s participation in K‑12 school athletics signed by a certified registered nurse practitioner, certified nurse midwife, or a physician’s assistant is treated the same as a physician’s signature. It also stops athletic associations, clubs or leagues from rejecting those forms. This expands who can clear students for sports without altering any provider’s scope of practice.
