Medical Examiners Board and Nursing Board collaborative practice; joint committee, membership and procedures revised

SB 124 revises the membership of Alabama's Joint Committee for Medical Examiners and Nursing Boards. It adds two certified registered nurse practitioners (CRNPs) and one certified nurse midwife (CNM) actively in collaborative practice to the committee, alongside existing physician and nursing members. The bill also increases daily payment for committee members and establishes new procedures if either the Medical Examiners Board or Nursing Board rejects a joint committee recommendation. This directly affects the committee's composition, the boards' rule-making process, and healthcare providers in collaborative practice agreements.
