What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

A nonhuman entity, including but not limited to an agent powered by artificial intelligence, may not use the title or abbreviation of Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, certified registered nurse anesthetist, clinical nurse specialist, licensed practical nurse, registered nurse, nurse practitioner, certified medication aide or certified nursing assistant.

The chapter carrying this section exempts only the employment of nurses in institutions or agencies of the federal government; a state or local government entity is otherwise bound the same as a private one, so an AI system interacting with patients in a state, local or private health care setting may not present itself under any of these titles.
