Breaking News!! HB 821 Passes Out of Second Committee
Posted about 5 years ago by Doreen Cassarino
HB 821 sponsored by Representative Cary Pigman was heard in and passed out of the Health Care Appropriations Subcommittee.
This bill grants “independent practice” to APRNs and PAs who meet certain requirements. For specifics on the bill refer to the Breaking News post from two weeks ago on the website under News & Announcements.
HB 821 has one more committee stop in the Health & Human Services Committee. 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 these bills forward.
Stay tuned for further breaking news and any requests for advocacy needs as the legislative session progresses.
