SSB 3017 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the licensure of anesthesiologist assistants, and making penalties applicable.

This bill establishes a licensing requirement for anesthesiologist assistants in Iowa. It requires individuals to complete an accredited education program, pass a certification exam, and obtain a license from the Board of Medicine to practice or use the title "anesthesiologist assistant." The law prohibits unlicensed practice and defines key terms like "supervising anesthesiologist" and "assist" to clarify the scope of work. This directly affects anesthesiologist assistants seeking to legally provide anesthesia care under physician supervision in Iowa.
