AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition of a "medical consultant" for a community health board, which is an individual who provides advice, authorizes medical procedures, and helps coordinate activities with local healthcare providers. Previously, a medical consultant had to be a physician licensed to practice medicine in Minnesota. Now, the bill expands this to include individuals who are licensed in Minnesota as a physician, doctor of osteopathic medicine, physician assistant, or an advanced practice registered nurse (such as a clinical nurse specialist or nurse practitioner) who is certified by a national organization acceptable to the board. This change aims to broaden the pool of qualified professionals who can serve in this important advisory role for community health boards.
