AI Summary

This bill requires the Health Policy Commission to conduct a review and evaluation of any proposed legislation that would change the authority of a healthcare provider to provide certain services or alter their scope of practice. The review must include an assessment of public health and safety impacts, effects on access to healthcare, relevant scope of practice standards, availability of applicable education and training programs, and a cost-benefit analysis by the Center for Health Information and Analysis. The Health Policy Commission must then provide a written report of its findings and a recommendation on whether the proposal is positive, negative, or neutral. This process aims to provide third-party expert evaluation of scope of practice legislation before it is enacted.
