New Jersey A3376 expands the scope of practice for pediatricians and advanced practice nurses in pediatric behavioral and developmental health care.

New Jersey A3376 expands the scope of practice for pediatricians and advanced practice nurses in pediatric behavioral and developmental health care. It allows pediatricians and advanced practice nurses, who do not specialize in pediatric behavioral or developmental health care, to provide care for children with low-acuity behavioral or developmental conditions, such as anxiety or stress. The bill also permits advanced practice nurses to prescribe medications and devices, authorize medical cannabis use, and certify causes of death under certain conditions.
