Modifies provisions relating to prescriptive authority for advanced practice registered nurses and physician assistants
HB 2287 expands prescribing authority for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) in specific scenarios. It allows APRNs with a controlled substance prescriptive certificate to prescribe Schedule III-V controlled substances and limited Schedule II (hydrocodone) medications for hospice patients or those under designated mental health providers, with prescriptions capped at a 120-hour supply without refill. The bill requires written collaborative agreements between APRNs and physicians, including patient disclosure statements about seeing an APRN instead of a physician. It prohibits APRNs from prescribing for themselves or family members and maintains existing restrictions on Schedule II prescribing for sedation or anesthesia.
