SB 428 updates Michigan's licensing rules for anesthesiologist assistants, who work under physician supervision to provide anesthesia care. The bill amends existing health code sections and adds new provisions to establish specific practice standards and requirements for these professionals. It directly affects anesthesiologist assistants seeking licensure and the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, which oversees the licensing process. The key change creates a defined pathway for their licensure and practice within the state's healthcare system.
