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

Summary

The bill would permit advanced practice registered nurses who hold a controlled‑substance certificate and have a written collaborative practice agreement with a physician to prescribe Schedule II‑V medications, with special limits on hydrocodone and hospice patients. It also requires detailed written agreements, caps supplies, and bars nurses from prescribing for themselves or family members. The goal is to broaden access to needed medications while adding oversight safeguards.
