CT HB05403

Allow advanced practice registered nurses to collaborate with another advanced practice registered nurse or a physician during their first three years after licensure, expanding beyond physician-only collaboration requirements.

Establish reciprocity for advanced practice registered nurses licensed in other states relocating to Connecticut, eliminating the three-year collaboration requirement if they have at least three years and 2,000 hours of prior experience.

Implement a global signature system allowing advanced practice registered nurses to independently sign healthcare forms for orders, referrals, and patient health status recognition within their scope of practice, rather than requiring physician signatures.
