Regulations for Prescriptive Authority for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses
[18 VAC 90 ‑ 40]
(4797)
Action:
(7989)
Stage:
On 9/18/2018 the board requested that this
emergency stage be extended until 5/6/2019.
Reason for Extension:
The emergency regulations for prescribing of opioids by nurse practitioners expire on November 7, 2018. The Boards cannot adopt final regulations for at least 15 days after the close of the comment period on proposed regulations (comment closes on September 9, 2018). The Board of Nursing will adopt final regulations at its November meeting and the Board of Medicine at the December meeting of the Executive Committee.
Therefore, it is not possible to have final regulations in effect before the November 7th expiration date.
This emergency extension request was approved by the Governor's office on 9/24/2018.
