AI Summary

This bill expands the duties of certified medical assistants (CMAs) by allowing them to enter and activate orders for certain healthcare services under specific conditions, such as routine immunizations, screening tests, and medication refills, provided there is a standing written protocol and the CMA has completed relevant training; these orders, except for controlled substances, can be activated by the CMA and must be reviewed by a supervising healthcare practitioner within 72 hours. The bill also clarifies that entering and activating these orders is not considered a task requiring clinical judgment based on experience, and it updates definitions related to medical assistants and their supervisory requirements.
