Bill overview
This bill expands the roles of pediatricians and advanced practice nurses (APNs) in providing behavioral and developmental health care to children. It allows pediatricians without a specialization in these areas to offer services to children with low-acuity conditions like anxiety or stress, and it modifies existing regulations for APNs to broaden their ability to manage preventive care, diagnose illnesses, and prescribe medications in various settings. The bill also requires the Boards of Medical Examiners and Nursing to develop implementing rules.
