Nurses, Nursing - As enacted, requires the board of nursing to develop a survey to collect certain information from nurse practitioners who have been issued a certificate of fitness from the board; requires the board to submit a report regarding the survey to legislative committees. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8; Title 14; Title 29; Title 33; Title 37; Title 39; Title 53; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.
HB 203 requires Tennessee's Board of Nursing to create a survey collecting specific information from nurse practitioners who hold a "certificate of fitness." The board must then submit a report based on this survey data to legislative committees. This bill directly affects nurse practitioners and the Board of Nursing by establishing a new data collection and reporting process. It amends multiple sections of Tennessee's health care laws (Titles 4, 8, 14, 29, 33, 37, 39, 53, 63, 68, and 71) to implement this requirement. The law is now effective as Public Chapter 222.
