Modifies provisions relating to prescriptive authority for advanced practice registered nurses and physician assistants

Summary

The proposal allows advanced practice registered nurses (except certified registered nurse anesthetists) who hold a controlled‑substance certificate to prescribe Schedule III‑V drugs and limited Schedule II hydrocodone, but only under written collaborative practice agreements with physicians. It sets a 120‑hour supply limit with no refills, requires specific disclosure notices for patients, and outlines special authority for hospice and mental‑health patients. The measure did not advance beyond committee referral and ultimately failed.
