SR 59: Relative to nurse practitioners.
What SR 59 does, verified December 7, 2025
This bill aims to improve access to healthcare in California by expanding the scope of practice for nurse practitioners. Nurse practitioners would be allowed to prescribe certain medications and order diagnostic tests without a physician's supervision. This change would enable them to provide more comprehensive care to patients, especially in underserved areas where access to healthcare is limited. The bill also aims to increase the efficiency of the healthcare system by reducing the administrative burden on healthcare providers.
