Pass SB 1451 (Ashby)

Legislation to Facilitate AB 890 Implementation for California NPs


CANP has been working diligently to address AB 890 (Wood, 2020) implementation hurdles so that California nurse practitioners can expand access to care as intended by the law.  That's why the California Association for Nurse Practitioners and the Close the Provider Gap Coalition are strongly supporting SB 1451, authored by Senator Angelique Ashby. SB 1451 includes language to ensure the full and effective implementation of AB 890 by:

  • Recognizes "legacy certifications" for 103 NPs; 
  • Clarifies experience requirements for Transition to Practice (TTP);
  • Addresses physician liability concerns around attestation;
  • Grandparents in NPs who may have had a break in their experience;
  • Recognizes practice from other states; and,
  • Clarifies disclosures that NPs must provide to patients.

SB 1451 was passed by the Senate Business, Professions & Economic Development Committee on April 22 with a vote of 12-0. It now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee where it will be heard in the coming weeks.
