SB 1352 Passes by One Vote!
Posted over 11 years ago by Stanley F Whittaker
SB 1352 sponsored by Senator Denise Grimsley RN passed the senate Health Policy Committee on a 5-4 vote. The next stop is in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Watch your email for action alerts. Send a thank you to Senator Grimsley RN MBA for championing this cause!
This bill allows ARNPs to obtain a DEA license, changes the ARNP title to APRN and allows psychiatric NPs to release a baker act.
This is a historic day for NPs in Florida. The DEA bill has never before been granted a hearing in a committee, and today it was heard and passed its first committee. We must continue our hard work on this effort for the sake of all our patients. Thank you to all who wrote these senators. But roll up your sleeves the fight is just beginning.
