The proposed law would allow licensed physician assistants to perform medical services without the supervision of a physician if they have practiced for more than 3,600 hours. This change would be made by adding a new subdivision to the existing education law. The law would take effect 90 days after it becomes a law and would expire and be repealed two years after that date.
