Summary

The bill rewrites Ohio’s nursing statutes to tighten how certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) practice. CRNAs must now have a supervising physician, podiatrist, or dentist who is actively licensed in the state, and their anesthesia duties are limited to procedures those supervisors are authorized to perform. The changes also add new definitions for many nursing roles and repeal outdated sections.
