State House bills pass

Bills introduced by state Rep. Arvind Venkat, D-McCandless, to enhance licensure flexibility for physician assistants passed the House unanimously.

House Bills 2294 and 2295 would amend the physician licensure acts and allow physician assistants to work with either classification of physician — doctor of medicine or doctor of osteopathic medicine — without having to align with the physician’s license type. Current law requires that physician assistants and supervising physicians must be licensed by the same state medicine board.

Both bills now move to the state Senate for consideration.
