Esteemed Colleagues

Thank you for allowing public comment on the proposed regulations for HB 793. I support these regulations as written. The draft regulations are an effective way to promote access to care for Virginians by allowing nurse practitioners who meet the proposed requirements to transition to an independent license. I appreciate that the proposed regulations are avoid additoinal burden to nurse practitioners by using the language in the legislation. Thank you for your diligent work.
