PMHNP · Minnesota
Supervision Agreement for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners in Minnesota
No. Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners practice independently here. Minnesota does not require one.
Minnesota's statute creates no separate PMHNP category — 'psychiatric-mental health' is a national-certification population focus layered on the same NP licensure (§ 148.171). All rules are identical to the general `np` entry above, including the August 2026 repeal of the collaborative-agreement gate.

About Minnesota's rules
H.F. 1794 repealed the NP/CNS 2,080-hour postgraduate collaborative-agreement rule (Minn. Stat. § 148.211, subd. 1c) effective August 1, 2026 — already in force. PA remains CONDITIONAL under a separate, still-active 2,080-hour rule (§ 147A.02(c)); 2025 reform bills (H.F. 89/S.F. 1083) to loosen it are pending, not confirmed enacted.
