banning certain contract provisions from being enforced against advanced practice registered nurses.

SB 172 bans employers from enforcing specific contract clauses against advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), directly affecting APRNs and their employment agreements. The law prohibits provisions that restrict APRNs' ability to practice, transfer between employers, or join professional organizations. It became law on June 24, 2025, and takes effect August 23, 2025, requiring employers to remove such clauses from new or renewed contracts. This policy change ensures APRNs can practice without undue contractual limitations.
