Bill > HB622

This bill allows advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), who are nurses with advanced education and training, to practice without a formal practice agreement with a physician if they have at least three years of autonomous practice experience gained through military service or employment with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). A practice agreement is a written or electronic document that outlines the collaboration and consultation between an APRN and a patient care team physician, ensuring appropriate oversight and support. This provision aims to recognize the extensive experience and independent practice capabilities of APRNs who have served in these critical roles, enabling them to continue practicing without the requirement of a physician's practice agreement.
