Please continue to follow current Statutes and Regulations - See link under resources on this page for current (August 2024).
The current regulation changes will continue to be discussed and amended by the SMB for those PAs who will not work in the exempted locations listed in Chapter 21 SLA 26 (SB 89). Please remember that we all must continue to keep our current collaboration plans in good standing until the effective date of this new law 9/16/2026.
The current proposed regulations will streamline PA state regulations held by the SMB.
- Removal of redundant language and updating application procedures.
- Removal of alternate physician requirement on collaborative plan.
- "Collaboration plan" now called "Practice Agreement" and held at practice level.
- "Periodic Assessment" now "Personalized Assessment".
- Removal of language restricting scope of practice to collaborative scope.
- Change remote restrictions (see document link on this page).
- Grant prescriptive authority with license and DEA registration.
- Removal of requirement to have sign stating collaborative plan available to public. All providers to wear name tag with credentials per current statutes.
- Change language attest to practice agreement in place.
Please attend SMB meetings to learn more or contact AKAPA Advocacy Chairs, Jenny Fayette and Meghan Hall.
