Under this act, such person may use the designations of "certified registered nurse anesthetist", "certified nurse midwife", "certified clinical nurse specialist", and "certified nurse practitioner".

(Section 335.076)

This act is identical to SCS/SB 400 (2019), and provisions of SCS/HB 705 (2019), and is similar to HB 693 (2019) and HB 1502 (2018).
