Eliminates certain practice restrictions for advanced practice nurses.

Summary

The Senate‑passed bill repeals several statutory requirements that force advanced practice nurses (APNs) to work under a physician’s supervision or joint protocol. By redefining the scope of nursing practice, the law lets APNs practice to the full extent of their education and certification, expanding access to primary and specialty care, especially in underserved areas. The change is intended to address physician shortages and reduce health‑care disparities.
