Summary

The bill permits a physician assistant who has logged and reported at least 6,240 post‑graduate clinical hours to work independently, without a practice agreement or direct physician supervision. Physician assistants with fewer hours must still have a written agreement filed with the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision and follow detailed supervision rules. It also creates a free online system for reporting hours and clarifies prescribing authority for PAs.
