AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to expand the definition of "practitioner" under Chapter 94C to include nurse practitioners and nurse anesthetists who have independent practice authority under Sections 80E and 80H of Chapter 112, respectively. This allows these advanced practice nurses to register with the state to distribute, dispense, conduct research with, or use controlled substances in the course of their professional practice or research. The bill also adds a definition of "Medication Order" to the law, specifying that such an order from a facility satisfies the requirement for a prescription under Chapter 94C.
