Attached is the legislative update for week #8 of the legislative session and copies of HB 1816 and SB 942.
Both HB 1816 and SB 942 will be heard in committee this week. We encourage you to submit written testimony in support of HB 1816 (which removes the geographic proximity requirements in rural areas) and in opposition to SB 942 (which prohibits the use of Dr. by APRN's who have obtained a doctorate degree and also prohibits NP's from performing routine procedures such as biopsies, suturing, etc.).
If you will be joining us at the Capitol to testify on these measures, please shoot us a message to let us know to expect you at derek@the109group.com.
YOUR action on these two bills is important. Please send your written testimony to us at nursepractitioners@missourinp.org by no later than Wednesday, March 4th to be included in the committee record.
Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or if we can be of assistance.
