This session marked the largest amount of funding—about $80 million—for nursing education and related bills the state has considered, Frazee said. However, many bills did not pass the House and Senate by the end of the session, including Senate Bill 1700—also known as the Healthcare Expanded & Accessed Locally Act. The bill would have removed regulations to allow nurse practitioners to provide care to areas with nursing shortages. Cindy Weston—president of Texas Nurse Practi- tioners, the largest state association of nurses in the

U.S.—said in a released statement prior to the session’s end that the organization supported the bill. One that did pass was SB 25, which supports nurs- ing students with scholarships, nurses and nurse faculty with loan repayment help, and nursing edu- cation programs with grants. As of press time, the bill awaited approval from Gov. Greg Abbott. Well over 12 legislators authored the bill, including Sen. Mayes Middleton, RGalveston.
