Modifies provisions relating to the prescriptive authority of advanced practice registered nurses

HB 2067 expands the prescriptive authority for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) in Missouri. It allows APRNs with a certificate of prescriptive authority and under a collaborative practice agreement to prescribe medications in Schedules III, IV, and V of controlled substances, plus limited Schedule II drugs (like hydrocodone, hospice medications, and stimulants) with a 120-hour supply limit. The bill explicitly prohibits APRNs from prescribing controlled substances for sedation, anesthesia, or for their own use. These changes update Missouri’s rules for collaborative practice arrangements between physicians and APRNs.
