AI Summary
This bill seeks to remove the restrictions on the licenses of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in Massachusetts. Specifically, it amends the state's Controlled Substances Act (Chapter 94C) and the Nursing Practice Act (Chapter 112) to grant CRNAs the same authority as physicians and other advanced practice nurses to prescribe, dispense, and administer controlled substances. The bill also requires the Department of Public Health and the Board of Registration in Nursing to promulgate new regulations to implement these changes by the end of 2018.
