Bill Summary
AN ACT ENTITLED: “AN ACT INCREASING THE NUMBER OF PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS ON THE BOARD OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS; AND AMING SECTION 2-15-1731, MCA.”
AI Summary
This bill amends Montana state law to increase the number of physician assistants (PAs) on the Board of Medical Examiners from one to two members. Currently, the board consists of 12 members representing various medical professions, including doctors of medicine, osteopathy, podiatry, and other healthcare roles. The proposed change would expand the board to 13 total members by adding a second physician assistant position. This modification aims to increase PA representation on the board, potentially providing more diverse perspective and input from this professional group in medical regulatory and licensing decisions. Physician assistants are healthcare professionals who provide medical services under the supervision of a physician, and this bill would give them greater voice in the board's governance and decision-making processes.
