Scope of practice 2025 state legislative activity
Each year, the AMA Advocacy Resource Center closely monitors legislation seeking to inappropriately expand the scope of practice for non-physician health care professionals in all 50 states and D.C.
With most 2025 state legislative sessions now concluded, the Advocacy Resource Center has released the Scope of Practice 2025 State Legislative Activity (PDF) report. This resource summarizes major state legislative developments on scope of practice for select non-physician practitioners—including nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, physician assistants, optometrists, pharmacists, psychologists, naturopaths, and podiatrists—through July 31, 2025.
