SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health professions; medical assistants. Revises the authority of licensed or certified practitioners of the healing arts to delegate to supervised employees those nondiscretionary activities and functions that do not require the exercise of professional judgment for their performance and are usually or customarily delegated to other persons by practitioners of the healing arts, if the relevant practitioner of the healing arts is authorized to perform the delegated duties and assumes responsibility for such activities or functions. This bill removes the requirement that the unregulated person be employed by a professional licensed or certified by the Board of Medicine; the requirement that the unregulated person be supervised by the responsible licensed or certified professional remains. This bill is identical to SB 849.
