This law establishes a Physician Assistant Board made up of nine members. The law is set to be in place only until January 1, 2026, after which it will be repealed. Once repealed, the board will be subject to review by the relevant legislative committees.

This law states that when the Physician Assistant Board is making decisions about licenses, regulations, or discipline, protecting the public should always come first. If there's ever a conflict between protecting the public and other goals, keeping the public safe is the most important.

This law outlines how the board is composed and how its members are appointed. The board has a mix of four physician assistants, a physician and surgeon from the Medical Board of California, and four public members initially. Eventually, the board changes to five physician assistants and one physician and surgeon. Each board member holds their position for four years, and no one can serve more than two terms in a row. If a spot opens up early, it's filled for the rest of the term. The Governor is responsible for appointing the licensed and some public members, while others are appointed by the Senate Rules Committee and the Speaker of the Assembly.

The members of the board are entitled to receive a daily allowance and reimbursement for expenses, as detailed in another section of the law.

This law says that whoever has the authority to appoint someone to a board also has the authority to remove them from that board, following the rules set out in another law, Section 106.

This rule allows the board to hold meetings whenever needed. People or groups interested in getting updates about these meetings must be notified at least two weeks in advance. The board must get the director's approval if they want to meet more than six times a year, but the director will approve meetings if they're necessary for the board to do its job properly.

This section outlines the responsibilities of the board in charge of physician assistants. They must set up standards and provide licenses for educational programs that train physician assistants. Additionally, the board is responsible for ensuring that people who want to become physician assistants take an exam before they can get their license.

Every year, the board must choose one member to be the president and another to be the vice president.

This section empowers the board to make rules or change existing ones to effectively implement the chapter's provisions. However, any rule or change must align with the rules in this chapter, and the process must follow specific government procedures outlined in another section of the law.

To do business, five board members must be present, and a majority vote from those at the meeting is needed to pass any decision. A physician or surgeon on the board in a non-voting role doesn't count towards the necessary number of members to start a meeting.

This law section states that the board responsible for supervising physician assistants can hire staff and an executive officer to manage its duties, using money from the Physician Assistant Fund. They can spend this money and accept contributions to help with their work. This law is only valid until January 1, 2026, after which it will no longer be in effect.
