SB 1567 tweaks Oklahoma’s new APRN supervision law by loosening the “supervision fee” language and making clear those limits only apply when the APRN is paying the supervising physician directly, not when an employer or health system is covering the cost or setting its own policies.
It also says the medical boards can’t tack on administrative fees just for maintaining or overseeing supervision agreements, and it requires each board to keep a public list of physicians who are available to supervise APRNs.
On the independent prescriptive authority side, it clarifies that prior supervised prescribing hours still count and it prohibits the Board of Nursing from treating this as a “brand new” prescriptive authority application or making APRNs redo the baseline initial-application requirements.
Effective November 1, 2026.
