HB 3794, sponsored by the AANP (American Association of Nurse Practitioners), is a Texas bill that aims to enhance the licensing and regulation of advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), including nurse practitioners. It expands the definition of "practitioner" to include APRNs, clarifies their prescribing authority, and allows them to communicate prescriptions and dispense dangerous drugs in certain rural areas. The bill also updates definitions related to orthotics and prosthetics to include APRNs and physician assistants.
