AI Summary

This bill aims to include psychologists in the definition of nursing practice under Massachusetts law. Specifically, it proposes to amend the state's General Laws to insert the phrase "psychologists practicing within their scope of practice as defined in section chapter 112" after the word "dentists" in the existing statute. This change would facilitate the utilization of psychologists as part of the healthcare team, as the original government summary indicates.
