PHYSICIANS: Requests the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners to promulgate rules relative to physician assistants.

This resolution (SR 145) requests the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners to submit approved rule changes for physician assistants to the Louisiana Register, as required by law. The Board had unanimously approved these proposed rule changes on February 19, 2024, but over a year later, they had not yet initiated the formal rulemaking process. The resolution specifically asks the Board to file the notice of intent to begin this process, following administrative procedures. It directly affects the State Board of Medical Examiners, requiring them to act on previously approved regulations governing physician assistants.
