Modifies provisions relating to the prescriptive authority of advanced practice registered nurses

Summary

The measure repeals two existing statutes and creates new rules that allow advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) with a controlled‑substance prescribing certificate and a written collaborative agreement with a physician to prescribe drugs in Schedules III, IV and V, and limited Schedule II drugs such as hydrocodone, hospice medications and stimulants. It caps prescriptions at a 120‑hour supply with no refills and requires offices to post a disclosure informing patients of the nurse’s role. The bill did not pass.
