HB 1756 titled the Healthcare Expanded and Accessed Locally for Texans (HEAL Texans) Act, enhances the scope and authority of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs). It establishes that APRNs can practice independently without physician delegation and prescriptive authority agreements, including prescribing controlled substances. The bill redefines licensing and practice regulations under the Texas Board of Nursing and streamlines rules for APRNs to function as primary care providers.
