Relating to the licensing and regulation of advanced practice registered nurses and the number of advanced practice registered nurses and physician assistants with whom a physician may enter into a prescriptive authority agreement.

SB 3055, the HEAL Texans Act, amends Texas law to change the regulatory limits on how many advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and physician assistants (PAs) a physician can work with under prescriptive authority agreements. The bill specifically modifies Section 301.002 of the Occupations Code to adjust the numerical constraints governing these agreements. This directly affects APRNs, PAs, and physicians who rely on such collaborative arrangements for prescribing medications. The key mechanism is updating the licensing and regulatory framework to redefine these practice parameters, though the exact new numerical limits are not specified in the provided text. The bill remains pending in committee as of May 2025.
