H.583 (signed June 15, 2026, eff. July 1, 2026) newly restricts private-equity/hedge-fund control and requires majority physician ownership/governance of medical practices — a major shift from Vermont's historically permissive, no-common-law-CPOM stance. All 4 APRN roles (NP, CRNA, CNM, CNS/PMHNP) share one 2,400-hour/2-year transition-to-practice threshold (26 V.S.A. § 1614) — treat as newly in effect and monitor implementing guidance.
Registered Nurse
RNs (general licensure, not an APRN) are not subject to physician-supervision or collaborative-agreement requirements in Vermont; the Nurse Practice Act (26 V.S.A. ch. 28) defines RN practice without a physician-oversight condition.

Prescriptive authority
Covered by practice agreement · no controlled-substance authority
RNs do not have independent prescriptive authority in Vermont; they administer medications only as ordered by an authorized prescriber.Practice ownership (CPOM)
Non-licensee ownership permitted — General RN licensure does not require a healing-arts PC — non-clinical businesses an RN might own (staffing agency, home health agency) fall under general corporation/LLC law and carry no ownership restriction. H.583's new majority-licensee requirements target 'medical practices' employing physicians, not general RN-run businesses.
