HB 1738 -- Supervision Requirements for Physician Assistants

Sponsor:  Guernsey

This bill prohibits the State Board of Registration for the
Healing Arts within the Department of Insurance, Financial
Institutions and Professional Registration from requiring
additional supervision requirements for a physician and physician
assistant team prior to granting a supervision waiver to work in
a rural health clinic as defined by the federal Rural Health
Clinic Services Act if the minimum federal standards are met.

The bill also requires a physician assistant to be in an
collaborative agreement with a supervising physician prior to
prescribing or dispensing any drug, medicine, therapy, or device
allowed by current law.
