This bill amends Mississippi law to authorize nurse practitioners to dispense legend drugs, which are prescription medications that require a prescription from a healthcare professional, to their patients, provided the nurse practitioner has prescriptive authority for that specific medication and it is not a controlled substance. The bill also clarifies that nurse practitioners can prescribe or dispense medications under the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act, aligning with existing regulations for medical marijuana. This change aims to expand the services nurse practitioners can offer, potentially improving patient access to necessary medications.
