An Act To Eliminate the Dual Licensing of Physician Assistants
 
CONCEPT DRAFT SUMMARY
This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208.
This bill proposes to reduce the regulatory burden on a physician assistant who is currently required to be licensed by both the Board of Licensure in Medicine and the Board of Osteopathic Licensure if that physician assistant is supervised by both allopathic and osteopathic physicians. The bill proposes to require one of the physician licensing boards to issue all the licenses needed by a physician assistant, regardless of which board licenses the supervising physician.
