PA HB2335

Removes the requirement that certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) practice under "overall direction" of a physician, replacing it with a "cooperation" model where CRNAs and physicians work together as collaborative professionals.

Grants CRNAs authority to prescribe, dispense, and administer prescription drugs including Schedule II-V controlled substances, limited to a 10-day supply with no refills for established patients.

Authorizes CRNAs to independently order and evaluate laboratory tests, diagnostic studies, and radiographic imaging within their qualifications.

Specifies 14 procedures CRNAs may perform, including total anesthesia care, developing anesthetic care plans, managing acute and chronic pain, discharging patients from post-anesthesia care, and supervising nurse anesthesia trainees.

Shields physicians, podiatrists, and dentists from liability for acts or omissions of CRNAs who order or administer anesthetics, with the act taking effect in 60 days.
