Modifies provisions relating to advanced practice registered nurses

Summary

The bill expands prescribing rights for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) so they can prescribe Schedule III‑V drugs and, in limited cases, Schedule II drugs such as hydrocodone, hospice meds, and behavioral‑health stimulants. Prescriptions are limited to a 120‑hour supply with no refills, and nurses cannot prescribe for themselves or family members. The authority is granted only when the nurse works under a written collaborative practice agreement that meets detailed requirements.
