Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, physician assistants who perform official duties for the armed
services or federal health services are not required to obtain a physician assistant
license. Current law generally requires a person to obtain a license granted by the
Medical Examining Board to practice as a physician assistant.
The bill also allows a person to practice as a registered nurse or nurse
anesthetist while performing official duties for the armed services or federal health
services without obtaining a credential from the Board of Nursing. Under current
law, a person is generally required to obtain a credential from the Board of Nursing
to practice professional nursing or to practice as a nurse anesthetist.
