The current session of the General Assembly has helped clarify the role of nurse practitioners in Kentucky. Physicians and nurse practitioners came to an agreement on prescriptive authority for NPs. The result was Senate Bill 94, which earned overwhelming support Friday. Louisville Senator Julie Raque Adams is credited with helping to broker the agreement.
“One of the very exciting things that Senate Bill 94 does is strengthen the transparency and accountability of the prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances by all providers authorized to prescribe or dispense controlled substances,” said Raque Adams.
