2025 Legislative Update

VICTORY - HB2298 passed!

We did it!
It wasn't easy and it took many years of perseverance to pass this important NP practice legislation. As you know, the bill passed the House and Senate only to be vetoed by Governor Stitt. But, we didn't give up. On the last day, in the 11th hour, the veto override passed the House and the Senate –– and the AONP team was there fighting every minute. Our deepest gratitude for the tireless work of the AONP legislative team, the APRN coalition members, and to all of the NPs who never gave up - thank you! The team's ability to tackle challenges and their persistence were key in getting this important legislation pushed over the finish line.
The law goes into effect November, 2025. The Oklahoma Board of Nursing is responsible for administering the rules and implementation.
