summary
This amendment is the majority report of the committee.
This amendment replaces the bill, but retains the intent to immunize and provide for the defense of the physician who supervises a physician assistant who is on active state service in the performance of the physician assistant’s duties. Current law applies to the supervising physician only if the supervising physician is on active state service. This amendment provides the same protection when the supervising physician is not on active state service, but the physician assistant is on active state service in the performance of the physician assistant's duty. This amendment applies to osteopathic and allopathic physicians who are the supervising physicians of physician assistants.
