The Florida Legislature has convened a Special Session (both House & Senate) to begin June 1st and last 20 days.

Among the few bills that will be heard is HB281 by Rep. Cary Pigman. This bill authorizes ARNPs and PAs to "order" controlled substances in certain facilities (ie. hospitals).

We may need your help and support when this bill comes up for discussion and a possibly a vote so please stay tuned and look for a "Call for Action" from FNPN and other nursing organizations should it be needed.
