KS APRN Legislative Information

Kansas City, MO
The Greater Kansas City Chapter of NAPNAP

We will be introducing a bill in the Senate health committee soon that would eliminate collaborative practice agreement requirements for APRNs across the state of Kansas. We feel that we are positioned well to get this bill passed out of the committee and even through the Seate. We are asking that all APRNs reach out to their Senators and Representatives.  Introduce yourselves, let them know that you are an APRN expert living in their district and happy to answer any questions they have surrounding this bill.
