AI Summary

This bill provides for a third-party expert evaluation of proposed legislation that would change the scope of practice for healthcare providers. It requires the Health Policy Commission to review and evaluate any such "scope of practice proposal" referred to it by joint legislative committees, assessing potential public health and safety impacts, access to care, relevant standards and legal restrictions, availability of training and providers, and other factors. The Center for Health Information and Analysis is also required to conduct a cost-benefit analysis, including the proposal's impact on healthcare costs and prices. The Health Policy Commission must then provide a written report with its findings and a recommendation on whether the proposal is positive, negative, or neutral.
