Modifies provisions relating to advanced practice registered nurses

HB 392 expands prescribing authority for certain advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who hold a special certification from the nursing board. It allows these APRNs to prescribe controlled substances in Schedules III, IV, and V, and limited Schedule II drugs (like hydrocodone) for most patients, but only under written agreements with physicians. The bill restricts Schedule II prescriptions to 120-hour supplies without refills and limits Schedule II prescriptions for non-hospice patients, though hospice care is exempt. It excludes certified nurse anesthetists from these new prescribing powers and permits APRNs to prescribe buprenorphine for addiction treatment under physician supervision.
