NURSES – Amends existing law to revise a definition.

H 27 amends Idaho's definition of "advanced practice registered nurse" in law, clarifying that this category includes only four specific roles: certified nurse-midwife, clinical nurse specialist, certified nurse practitioner, and certified registered nurse anesthetist. The bill revises the existing definition to explicitly list these four roles without changing the scope of practice or requirements for these nurses. This change directly affects advanced practice nurses, the Idaho Board of Nursing, and healthcare facilities that employ them by providing clearer regulatory language. The updated definition takes effect on July 1, 2025.
