Bill > HB1875

This bill modifies provisions relating to advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) in Missouri. It expands the authority of APRNs to prescribe controlled substances, including Schedule II benzodiazepines and stimulants for behavioral health patients. The bill also creates an exception for APRNs who have completed at least 2,000 documented hours of practice, allowing them to practice without a collaborative practice arrangement with a physician. The bill also modifies requirements related to geographic proximity between collaborating physicians and APRNs and the number of APRNs a physician can collaborate with.
