2021 House Bill 4359

Senate Roll Call 289: Passed

To define the “scope of practice” permitted for a registered professional nurse who holds a specialty certification as a nurse anesthetist. This refers to a detailed list of the treatments and services a medical professional may or may not perform under state licensure mandates. The bill would establish many new requirements and restrictions, but is said to expand somewhat the authority of a nurse anesthetist to administer anesthesia.
