AB 890 Implementation
Category: Workforce
Recorded: 3/20/23

Assembly Bill 890 (Wood) was signed into law in September 2020, creating a pathway for NPs to practice without standardized procedures in specific settings and eventual independent practice after 2026. The bill creates two new categories of nurse practitioners (NPs), commonly known as 103 or 104 NPs, and grants them full practice authority to work without physician supervision. The regulatory language to implement AB 890 was recently approved by the Office of Administrative Law and went into effect on January 1, 2023. The new authority under AB 890 is not automatically granted to NPs in California. NPs who wish to practice without standardized procedures must meet specific requirements and submit an application to the Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) for specific recognition as a 103 or 104 NP. NPs can elect, but are not required, to transition to these new classifications. AB 890 presents opportunities to combat California’s shortage of health care providers as NPs play a key role in filling gaps in provider coverage. This session discussed AB 890 approved regulations, transition to practice requirements, and updating organizational policies and procedures to incorporate the new categories of NPs at your health center.
