New York and Kansas

With NY and Kansas becoming the 25 and 26th to grant full practice authority, I was thinking that when I graduated in 2014, there were 30 something states that had FPA.  Have some gone back?

No, there are 26 U.S. states with FPA PLUS certain U.S. overseas territories with FPA as well. I think that's what you're thinking of with the higher number. Guam is an FPA territory and maybe Northern Mariana Islands  I don't think Puerto Rico and American Samoa have FPA. Also unsure about the Virgin Islands.
