Summary
Amends the New Mexico Nursing Practice Act to clarify nursing scope and Board of Nursing powers, including authority for the Board to promulgate rules on the use of artificial intelligence in nursing.
Healthcare Implications
Creates enabling authority for future nursing AI rules, but does not itself impose substantive operational obligations on nurses, health systems, or AI vendors until the Board of Nursing acts.
Operational Implications
- Authorizes the Board of Nursing to promulgate rules on the use of AI in nursing. Currently only an enabling provision; no substantive AI obligations until the Board acts.
