Eliminate physician liability for negligence of physician assistants
LB 914 repeals a Nebraska law (Section 38-2053) that previously held physicians personally liable for negligence by physician assistants they supervise. The bill directly affects physicians and physician groups who oversee physician assistants, removing their legal responsibility for the assistants' mistakes. This change eliminates a specific requirement in the Medicine and Surgery Practice Act, shifting liability focus solely to the physician assistant for their own negligent actions. The bill makes no other policy changes beyond this repeal of the liability provision.
