Breaking News: HB 821 Passes in the House!

Posted almost 5 years ago

HB 821 sponsored by Representative Cary Pigman was heard in and passed out of the House with a vote of 75 yays and 37 nays!  As you may recall this bill grants “independent practice” to APRNs and PAs who meet certain requirements. 

The companion bill, SB 972 sponsored by Senator Brandes, has yet to be placed on the agenda for its first committee.  FNPN and our professional lobbyist, Allison Carvajal, are working with other stakeholders to move the bill forward.
Stay tuned for further breaking news and any requests for advocacy needs as the legislative session progresses.
