Anesthesiologist assistants; allow licensure under physicians assistant licensure law.

Summary

The bill removes the ban on licensing anesthesiologist assistants under the physician assistant (PA) law and lets applicants who have passed the NCCAA certification exam qualify for a PA license. It also deletes the restriction that prevents PAs from administering or monitoring various forms of anesthesia. The change would expand the pool of qualified providers who can assist in surgical anesthesia.
