Summary
Amends the Nursing and Advanced Practice Nursing Act. Provides that an applicant seeking licensure in more than one advanced practice nursing category need not possess multiple graduate degrees. Provides that applicants may be eligible for licenses for multiple advanced practice nurse licensure categories, provided that the applicant (i) has met the requirements for at least one specified advanced practice nursing specialty, (ii) possesses an additional graduate education that results in a certificate for another clinical advanced practice nurse category and that meets the requirements for the national certification from the appropriate nursing specialty, and (iii) holds a current national certification from the appropriate national certifying body for that additional advanced practice nursing category. Adds Schedule II controlled substances to the list of controlled substances that an advanced practice nurse must obtain a mid-level practitioner controlled substance license for in order to prescribe. Amends the Pharmacy Practice Act. Exempts the delegation of limited prescriptive authority regarding Schedule II controlled substances by a physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches to a physician assistant from the Act. Amends the Physician Assistant Practice Act of 1987 to allow physicians assistants with delegated prescriptive authority to prescribe Schedule II controlled substances. Amends the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. Adds a physician assistant who issues a prescription for a Schedule II controlled substance to the definition of "prescriber". Adds Schedule II controlled substances to the list of controlled substances that the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation must register licensed physician assistants and licensed advanced practice nurses to prescribe and dispense. Provides that when a person meeting certain requirements pleads guilty to or is found guilty of possession of a controlled or counterfeit substance, the court may require that person to refrain from having in his or her body the presence of certain illicit drugs, unless prescribed by a physician or an advanced practice nurse or physician assistant meeting certain requirements (now, only excepts those drugs prescribed by a physician). Effective immediately.
