SUMMARY
Committee Amendment "A" provides protection from liability to the supervising physician of a physician assistant when the physician assistant is on active state service in the performance of the physician assistant's duty even when the supervising physician is not on active state service. This amendment limits this protection from liability provided a supervising physician in Committee Amendment "A" to acts of the physician assistant when the physician assistant is providing service to individuals not on active state service.
