Collegues, The Nurse Practitioner Alliance of Alabama ( NPAA) has an urgent plea for all NPAA members, Nurse Practitioners Practitoners in Alabama,  and supporters to please contact the Alabama House Health Committee members via phone and email by no later than Wednesday, February 21st at 9:00 am and urge them to support House Bill 429.  The bill, if passed, would authorize CRNPs and CNMs in Alabama to have signature authority for medical forms within their scope of practice. Nothing in the bill allows NPs or CNMs to practice outside their collaborative practice.

Attached to this message you will find the NPAA Call to Action as well as a list of the Alabama House Health Committee members and pertinent talking points. Regardless of whether or not the house member has verbalized his/her support for the bill, it is imperative that each of them hear from their local Nurse Practitioners.  

The Senate version of this bill has already been passed, therefore we must act quickly to ensure that this legislation passes the House as well.  Please see the attached information regarding the NPAA Call to Action and Committe member list.
