HB 1308 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Registered nurses and advanced practice registered nurses; revise authority to delegate medication administration.

HB 1308 would allow registered nurses and advanced practice registered nurses to delegate medication administration to unlicensed assistive personnel in outpatient clinic settings, but only for patients with stable and predictable health conditions. The bill requires nurses to provide direct, in-person supervision, retain full accountability for patient care, and ensure unlicensed staff are properly trained, competent, and able to perform tasks safely. It mandates that delegations be person-specific, prohibits delegation for certain medications, and requires clinics to have formal policies for such practices. The bill also specifies that nurses must document training and can rescind delegation if patient conditions change or safety concerns arise.
