Good Day,

I support the passage of the current draft regulations which will ensure that the legislation maintains its original intent to lower barriers to practice in Virginia and to increase access to care for citizens of the Commonwealth. 

Please see article below to support lowering practice barriers for APRNs, as published by the Brookings Institution on June 13, 2018.
