Bill > SB110

This bill amends existing Alabama law to allow certified registered nurse practitioners (CRNPs) and certified nurse midwives (CNMs) to sign or endorse certain documents that previously required a physician's signature, specifically including physical examinations for K-12 students participating in school athletic activities, provided these nurses have an active collaboration agreement. This means that a CRNP or CNM's endorsement on these forms will be considered as valid as a physician's by any organization or entity requesting it. Furthermore, the bill prohibits any public K-12 school from being a member of an athletic association that refuses to accept these nurse-endorsed physical examination forms for student athletic eligibility, aiming to ensure that schools are not penalized for complying with this new provision regarding nurse endorsements.
