Modifies provisions relating to advanced practice registered nurses

Summary

The measure repeals existing statutes and creates new rules that allow advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) with a certified controlled‑substance authority to prescribe Schedule III‑V drugs and limited Schedule II (hydrocodone) when working under a collaborative practice agreement or an exemption. It also caps supplies, bars self‑prescribing, and requires detailed written collaboration agreements. The changes aim to expand nurse prescribing authority while adding oversight safeguards.
