SB 107 - Under this act, any emergency medical services provider licensed under certain provisions of state law shall be considered a health care professional for purposes of liability and disclosure of materials produced by a peer review committee. Any quality improvement or quality assurance activity required by such licensed individuals shall be considered an activity of a peer review committee.

This act modifies the definition of a "health care professional" in the context of peer review committees and associated immunities from civil liabilities by adding physician assistants.

This act is identical to SCS/SB 1248 (2024).
