Modifies provisions relating to the ordering and administration of ketamine for mental health purposes

HB 1043 modifies rules for administering ketamine hydrochloride for mental health treatment. It requires that only physicians licensed under Chapter 334 may order ketamine, prohibiting delegation to other providers like nurse anesthetists. The bill also mandates that physicians must be physically present during ketamine administration by certified registered nurse anesthetists and that all treatments require a physician-documented diagnosis and treatment plan. This directly affects mental health facilities and providers using intravenous ketamine for patient care.
