Board of Nursing APR Committee outlines implementation steps for CRNA prescriptive authority under substitute Senate Bill 67
Summary
The APR Committee reviewed implementation information for the substitute Senate Bill 67 that adds prescriptive authority for CRNAs and noted the law takes effect when published in the statute book, typically July 1; CRNAs will need to register with the DEA.
The APR Committee of the Board of Nursing reviewed implementation guidance for the substitute Senate Bill 67, which grants prescriptive authority to certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). Staff told the committee the bill becomes effective when it is published in the official statute book — typically July 1 — and that registered CRNAs must also register with the Drug Enforcement Administration to prescribe controlled substances when required.
Committee materials included a copy of the bill language (packet page 11) and staff noted the Board has posted information on its website and plans a newsletter update. Members said there has been confusion among licensees about when prescriptive authority takes effect; staff emphasized that the effective date is the statute-book publication date rather than the date of legislative passage.
No formal action was required at the meeting. Committee members asked staff to continue clarifying implementation steps for licensees; staff said they are monitoring the publication timetable and will provide updates as the effective date approaches.
