HB 1812 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Supervision of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses; definitions; eligibility requirements for physicians; limits; exceptions; responsibilities; disciplinary action; penalties; effective date.

HB 1812 modifies supervision rules for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) working in hospitals. The bill specifically changes requirements so that hospitals - not all healthcare facilities - must oversee APRNs employed by or contracted with them. Key provisions clarify that hospitals must establish supervision protocols for these nurses, while exempting APRNs working outside hospital settings. This directly affects hospital-employed APRNs and the hospitals responsible for their oversight, with no changes to other nurse supervision standards.
