| Action Summary | In reviewing regulations to be amended pursuant to the Chapter 450 of the 2016 Acts of the Assembly, the Advisory Board on Physician Assistants identified amendments to sections 110 and 115 that they believed were within the spirit and intent of the legislation. However, they were not necessary to conform regulations to changes in the Code, so those changes could not be included in the exempt action. Therefore, a Notice of Intended Regulatory Action identifies amendments that will eliminate requirements for submission to the Board of a physician’s certification that his/her physician assistant (PA) is competent to perform specific invasive procedures and of the arrangements he/she has made for coverage by an alternative physician in his/her absence. |
