Relating to: grants to HealthNet of Rock County, Inc.; a reference to generalized public health nursing programs; and updating terminology from “advanced practice nurse prescriber” to “advanced practice registered nurse” (suggested as remedial legislation by the Department of Health Services).
SB 910 updates Wisconsin law to replace the term "advanced practice nurse prescriber" with "advanced practice registered nurse" across multiple statutes, including those governing healthcare provider roles and immunization programs. The bill also allocates $50,000 in grants to HealthNet of Rock County, Inc., a public health organization. Key changes affect how healthcare providers (like nurses and physicians) are referenced in legal definitions, ensuring terminology aligns with current professional standards. The legislation is categorized as "remedial" to correct outdated language without altering healthcare access or responsibilities. It takes effect September 1, 2026.
