Dear Senator Steans:

                 ave yo etter   in  iring whet er in light  recent statutory amendments,

physician  ss stants (PAs)     vanc           registered nurses (APRNs)' (collectively referred

to as advanc    r        i   ians (APCs)), may continue to dispense and administer mifepristone

under the supervision of a physician. For the reasons stated below, it is my opinion that the

recent statutory amendments do not impact the authority of APCs to dispense and administer

mifepristone under the supervision of a physician.


               'Illinois' advanced practice registered nurses were formerly known as advanced practice nurses
(APNs). Public Act 100-513, effective January 1, 2018, changed the terminology. This opinion will use the current
terminology-advanced practice registered nurse (APRN).
