Bill Summary

This bill relates to the practice of physician assistants. The bill repeals requirements that physician assistants practice under the supervision of a licensed physician and surgeon or osteopathic physician and surgeon. The bill repeals provisions requiring rulemaking for the supervision of physician assistants and requiring the board of physician assistants and board of medicine to submit an annual report regarding collaborative efforts, and makes other conforming changes.

AI Summary

This Study Bill proposes significant changes to how physician assistants (PAs) practice by removing the requirement for them to be supervised by a physician, allowing for a collaborative practice model instead. This means PAs will no longer need a physician to oversee their work, and related regulations and reporting requirements concerning physician supervision will be eliminated, with the bill making conforming changes to various sections of the law to reflect this shift towards independent practice and collaboration.
