Business and Professions Code section 3502.35

(a)

It is the intent of the Legislature that, in recognition of the vital role physician assistants play in delivering safe, effective, and accessible health care across California, a comprehensive review of practice agreement structures be undertaken in consultation with relevant stakeholders. This review should consider how practice agreements are utilized in other states and evaluate their potential benefits or detriments to patient care, workforce efficiency, and regulatory oversight.

(b)

This section shall not be construed to impose any additional regulatory responsibilities or workload on the board. The board may collaborate, as appropriate, with the Legislature and other stakeholders to inform future policy discussions through existing processes and expertise.
