AI Summary

The bill aims to amend the Public Health Service Act to allow physician assistants to provide certain medical services without direct supervision by a physician in states where laws permit it. It outlines exceptions where physician supervision is not required for PAs, such as in rural areas or underserved communities. This legislation seeks to increase access to healthcare services, especially in regions facing shortages of medical professionals, by empowering PAs to practice more autonomously within their scope of practice.
