SR 59 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to nurse practitioners.

This is a commemorative resolution (not a bill with policy changes), designating the week of November 9-15, 2025, as "National Nurse Practitioner Week" in California. It formally recognizes nurse practitioners' role in providing patient-centered care, citing their numbers (over 40,000 in California) and research supporting their quality of care. The resolution has no effect on practice laws or regulations - its sole purpose is symbolic acknowledgment. It was unanimously adopted by the California Senate on September 11, 2025.
