Relating to the use of nursing titles.
HB 2748 prohibits nonhuman entities (such as AI systems or robots) from using specific nursing titles and abbreviations. It explicitly bans the use of terms like "RN," "LPN," "CRNA," "NP," "CMA," and "CNA" by anything that isn’t a human. The law protects these titles from being misused by nonhuman entities while ensuring they remain reserved for licensed healthcare professionals. The bill became law on June 24, 2025, and takes effect January 1, 2026.
