Could go either way

This bill has support from both parties and fixes a simple paperwork problem, but it still needs to pass through two different committees.

Key Points

This bill allows nurse practitioners and physician assistants to order medical supplies, equipment, and services for workers who became ill while working in the energy industry.
Currently, these workers often need a doctor's signature for these benefits, which can cause delays in care, especially in rural areas where doctors are harder to find.
The change applies to people covered by a federal program that helps employees who were exposed to toxic chemicals or radiation while working for the Department of Energy.
By letting more types of medical professionals handle these orders, the bill aims to make it faster and easier for sick workers to get the walkers, oxygen tanks, or home health services they need.
