Representative Keith Frederick, D.O, (R-Rolla) asks an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) with her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree about her education and training during a public hearing on scope of practice legislation. The proposed bill would weaken physician supervision laws. Additionally, House Bill 1481 would restrict the state's medical board (Board of Healing Arts) from working with the Board of Nursing on regulations impacting medical procedures performed in a collaborative practice agreement. House Bill 1481, sponsored by Representative Lyle Rowland (R-Cedar Creek) Committee: Professional Registration & Licensing, Missouri House of Representatives Chairman: Representative Eric Burlison (R-Springfield) For more information, contact info@gogateway.org www.house.mo.gov www.GoGateWay.org
