Modifies provisions relating to advanced practice registered nurses

HB 3040 would allow advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), excluding nurse anesthetists, to prescribe certain controlled substances under specific conditions. It permits APRNs with a special certification to prescribe Schedule III-V drugs and limited Schedule II medications (like hydrocodone for hospice or behavioral health patients) through collaborative agreements with physicians. The bill requires written agreements, restricts prescriptions to 120-hour supplies without refills for some drugs, and prohibits APRNs from prescribing for themselves or family. The bill was introduced and withdrawn on January 21, 2026, with no further legislative action.
