TNP 2017 85th Legislative Session Recap

The attached 2017 Legislative Recap was provided by the dedicated staff of Texas Nurse Practitioners, www.texasnp.org, and is posted in full on their website.  

NP issues were prominent in this 2017 legislative session - the first time so many bills related to NP practice were formally heard with great interest and concern by Texas legislators, including the proposed bill for Full Practice Authority.  A huge thanks to our sponsoring legislators and the many NPs and APRNs from throughout Texas who testified on our behalf.

We know the momentum of these successes will carry forward in preparation for the 2019 legislative session.  We will be reaching out to our senators and representatives to explain how NPs touch the lives of individuals and communities in our home districts.   Stay tuned to learn more about how you can get involved!  If you're not already a member of TNP, just sign up today at www.texasnp.org.
