Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to health occupations; removing advanced practice registered nurse postgraduate collaborative practice requirements; repealing Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 148.211, subdivision 1c.

AI Summary

This bill removes the requirement for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), such as nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists, to complete a postgraduate practice period of at least 2,080 hours within a collaborative agreement with physicians or other APRNs. A collaborative agreement is defined as a mutually agreed-upon plan outlining the working relationship and scope of collaboration for patient care management. This change, effective August 1, 2026, means that APRNs will no longer need to submit proof of this supervised practice experience to the board when applying for licensure.
