Bill > H0973

This bill authorizes physician assistants and advanced registered nurse practitioners to sign, certify, stamp, verify, or endorse documents that would normally require a physician's signature, certification, stamp, verification, or endorsement. However, the supervisory physician cannot delegate the authority to issue a written approval to release a patient from a receiving facility or its contractor. The bill aims to expand the scope of practice for these healthcare professionals within an established framework and under the supervision of a physician.
