HB 1163 changes how physician assistants work in South Dakota by replacing the requirement for "supervision" by a doctor with a new "collaboration" model where physician assistants and physicians consult and share expertise instead. The bill also allows physician assistants to have collaborative agreements with other licensed physicians or even other physician assistants, rather than being limited to a single supervising doctor.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
