Welcome to the Michigan Council of Nurse Practitioners

ACTION NEEDED NOW! 
SB 481 (legislation that defines APRNs and grants licensure and independent prescriptive authority) is awaiting a hearing before the Senate Health Policy committee. We anticipate that this will occur sometime in the near future. It is imperative that NPs continue to contact their legislators through emails, letters and faxes – please reach out to your Senator and encourage him/her to support the bill.

MICNP supporters – sign our online petition!
Our organization continues to undergo extensive efforts to pass H.B.4774 & S.B. 481 which would define the scope of practice for nurse practitioners in Michigan.   We have created an online petition and we hope that you will sign on!  MICNP members & friends - we still encourage you to write letters to your individual state legislators, but our intent is to send this petition and the list of signers to all state legislators and other stakeholders in a show of support by our membership and other supports for passage of these two bills.
