AI Summary

This bill amends Florida statutes to authorize certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) to practice autonomously without the onsite medical direction of a physician. Specifically, it allows CRNAs registered for autonomous practice to perform various anesthesia-related functions without an established protocol approved by the medical staff. The bill also includes CRNAs practicing autonomously in the Medical Education Reimbursement and Loan Repayment Program and sets an expiration date for the Council on Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Autonomous Practice.
