This bill amends section 85-179.02 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, specifically updating the definition of "physicians' assistant" or "physicians' associate." The new legal language clarifies that these terms now "means" a person qualified by training and experience to assist or associate with a licensed physician, replacing the previous phrasing "shall mean."

Additionally, the bill includes a provision to repeal the original section 85-179.02, thereby streamlining the legal language and ensuring consistency in the definition used throughout the relevant statutes.
