This bill mandates that the board of medicine establish rules concerning continuing medical education (CME) for physician assistants who have received certification from the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) but have opted not to maintain this certification. The bill specifies the addition of a new subparagraph to RSA 328-D:10, I, which outlines the requirement for CME for these particular physician assistants.

Additionally, the bill amends RSA 313-A:25, I to exempt physician assistants licensed under RSA 328-D, along with physicians and surgeons licensed under RSA 329, from the provisions of the chapter that pertain to the board of barbering, cosmetology, and esthetics when they are practicing their profession. This amendment is signified by the insertion of new legal language into the current law. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an effective date of September 01, 2024.
