Harrisburg, PA (July 12) – In a 41-9 vote, the Pennsylvania Senate passed Senate Bill 717 (SB 717), which will modernize state law for nurse practitioners (NPs) as a way to boost quality, lower costs and expand access to health care in the state. SB 717 will now head to the House of Representatives for a vote that could come this fall.
Passage of the bill, which will significantly help the state’s vulnerable populations by removing unnecessary barriers to health care, was praised by the Pennsylvania Coalition of Nurse Practitioners (PCNP) and patients throughout the commonwealth.
