This bill replaces the requirement for physician assistants to have "supervising physicians" with a new system based on "collaborating physicians" who work with PAs as part of a healthcare team rather than directly supervising them. The bill also updates related definitions and the collaborative agreement process to reflect this shift from a supervision model to a collaboration model.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
