45:11-49.3 Advanced practice nurse may dispense certain narcotics.
13. a. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, an advanced practice nurse may dispense narcotic drugs for maintenance treatment or detoxification treatment if the advanced practice nurse has met the training and registration requirements set forth in subsection (g) of 21 U.S.C. s.823.

b. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, an advanced practice nurse, under the joint protocol established by the advanced practice nurse and the collaborating physician, may make the determination as to the medical necessity for services for the treatment of substance use disorder, as provided in P.L.2017, c.28 (C.17:48-6nn et al.), and may prescribe such services.
