Introduced

To revise the “scope of practice” allowed for Advanced Practic Registered Nurses, making it possible for them to provide more medical services without being under the direct supervision of a physician. Similar bills in the past have struggled due to opposition from the physician’s lobby. The bill would also authorize subsidies to APRNs who practice in “underserved” areas.
Referred to the Committee on Health Policy
Reported without amendment
