Under the bill, when an APRN renews his or her APRN license, the board must
grant the person the renewal of both the person's RN license and the person's APRN
license. The bill requires all APRNs to complete continuing education requirements
each biennium in clinical pharmacology or therapeutics relevant to the APRN's area
of practice and to satisfy certain other requirements when renewing a license.
Practice of nurse-midwifery
This bill repeals licensure and practice requirements specific to
nurse-midwives and the practice of nurse-midwifery, including specific
requirements to practice with an obstetrician. Under the bill, “certified
nurse-midwife" is one of the four recognized roles for APRNs, and a person who is
licensed as a nurse-midwife under current law is automatically granted an APRN
license with a certified nurse-midwife specialty designation. The bill otherwise
allows nurse-midwives to be licensed as APRNs if they satisfy the licensure
requirements, except that the bill also requires that a person applying for a certified
nurse-midwife specialty designation be certified by the American Midwifery
Certification Board. The bill also requires an APRN with a specialty designation as
a certified nurse-midwife to file with the board, and obtain the board's approval of,
a plan for ensuring appropriate care or care transitions in treating certain patients
if the APRN offers to deliver babies outside of a hospital setting.
Prescribing authority
Under current law, a person licensed as an RN may apply to the board for a
certificate to issue prescription orders if the person meets certain requirements
established by the board. An RN holding a certificate is subject to various practice
requirements and limitations established by the board and must possess malpractice
liability insurance in an amount determined by the board.
The bill eliminates certificates to issue prescription orders and generally
authorizes APRNs to issue prescription orders. A person who is certified to issue
prescription orders under current law is automatically granted an APRN license
with his or her appropriate specialty designation. RNs who are practicing in a
recognized role on January 1, 2024, but who do not hold a certificate to issue
prescription orders on that date and who are granted an APRN license under the bill
may not issue prescription orders. As under current law, an APRN issuing

prescription orders is subject to various practice requirements and limitations
established by the board.
The bill repeals a provision concerning the ability of advanced practice nurses
who are certified to issue prescription orders and who are required to work in
collaboration with or under the supervision of a physician to obtain and practice
under a federal waiver to dispense narcotic drugs to individuals for addiction
treatment.
Malpractice liability insurance
The bill requires all APRNs to maintain malpractice liability insurance in
coverage amounts specified under current law for physicians and nurse anesthetists
except for APRNs whose employer has in effect malpractice liability insurance that
provides the same amount of coverage for the APRN. Additionally, the bill requires
APRNs who have qualified to practice independently and who practice outside a
collaborative or employment relationship, but not including those APRNs who only
practice as a certified nurse-midwife, to participate in the Injured Patients and
Families Compensation Fund. The Injured Patients and Families Compensation
Fund provides excess medical malpractice coverage for health care providers who
participate in the fund and meet all other participation requirements, which
includes maintaining malpractice liability insurance in coverage amounts specified
under current law.
Other changes
The bill makes numerous other changes throughout the statutes relating to
APRNs, including various terminology changes.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
