Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to the use of nursing titles.
AI Summary
This bill adds a new section to Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 678.010 to 678.410 that specifically prohibits nonhuman entities, including artificial intelligence-powered agents, from using certain nursing-related titles and their abbreviations. The prohibited titles include professional nursing designations such as Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), Registered Nurse (RN), Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Nurse Practitioner (NP), Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), Certified Medication Aide (CMA), and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). By preventing artificial intelligence systems and other nonhuman entities from using these professional titles, the bill aims to protect the professional identities and credentials of human healthcare workers and prevent potential misrepresentation or confusion in healthcare settings.
