What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Generally, under current law, no person may practice podiatry unless the

person is licensed as a podiatrist. This bill creates an exception to this prohibition

for a physician assistant or advanced practice nurse prescriber who is providing

nonsurgical patient services as directed, supervised, and inspected by a podiatrist.
