AI Summary
This bill makes the following key changes:
1. It modifies the definitions related to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) in the Oklahoma Nursing Practice Act and the Oklahoma Pharmacy Act, including adding a definition for "Supervising Certified Nurse Practitioner."
2. It allows Certified Nurse Practitioners (a type of APRN) who have completed at least one year of supervised prescriptive authority to apply for independent prescriptive authority from the Oklahoma Board of Nursing. Certified Nurse Practitioners granted independent prescriptive authority can then serve as Supervising Certified Nurse Practitioners.

4. It expands the authority of Certified Nurse Practitioners who have obtained independent prescriptive authority to prescribe and administer Schedule II, III, IV, and V controlled dangerous substances.
