abortion; waiting period; authorized providers

SB 1398 amends the Arizona Board of Nursing's regulatory authority, specifically adding that the board cannot decide scope of practice for abortion as defined in section 36-2151. The bill primarily focuses on the board's powers regarding nursing practice, including rules for nurse practitioners, midwives, and medication assistants, but does not establish an abortion waiting period or define authorized providers. The provided bill text contains no provisions about waiting periods, authorized providers, or abortion access, contradicting the bill's title. This summary is based solely on the amended statute text provided, which addresses nursing board regulations, not abortion policy.
