Florida S0374 modifies prescribing authority for physician assistants and advanced practice registered nurses.

Florida S0374 revises the prescribing authority for physician assistants and advanced practice registered nurses. It removes the requirement for supervising physicians to notify the Department of Health when delegating prescribing authority to physician assistants. It also removes the requirement for the supervising physician's name to be included in prescriptions issued by physician assistants. The bill establishes a formulary of controlled substances that physician assistants may not prescribe or may only prescribe under specific conditions.
