CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 522 - This act provides that a certified registered nurse anesthetist ("CRNA") may select, issue orders for, and administer certain controlled substances for and during the course of providing anesthesia care to a patient in a licensed facility pursuant to state law. This act shall not be construed as authorizing a CRNA to prescribe such controlled substances and a CRNA shall not be required to obtain a certificate of controlled substance prescriptive authority from the Board of Nursing in order to exercise this prescriptive authority.
This act is identical to SB 545 (2025), is substantially similar to a provision in HB 831 (2025), and is similar to a provision in SB 910 (2024), HB 1561 (2024), and HB 1881 (2024).
