An act relating to autonomous practice for certified psychiatric nurses; amending s. 464.0123, F.S.; authorizing an advanced practice registered nurse who is certified as a psychiatric nurse practitioner to engage in autonomous practice under certain circumstances; providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to authorize advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who are certified as psychiatric nurses to engage in autonomous practice, which means they can provide certain healthcare services without the supervision of a physician. Specifically, the bill allows these psychiatric APRNs to practice autonomously in the performance of psychiatric mental health services, as defined by the state's medical board. The bill sets an effective date of July 1, 2024, for these changes.
