Anesthesiologist assistants licensure establishment provision

This bill establishes licensure for anesthesiologist assistants in Minnesota, creating a new regulatory chapter to oversee this allied health profession. It requires anesthesiologist assistants to work under the supervision of a physician and defines their role as individuals who perform delegated duties in anesthesia care. To obtain a license, applicants must graduate from an accredited program, pass a national certification exam, and meet state-specific requirements including a collaborative practice agreement with a supervising physician. The bill also creates a provisional license option for individuals who may not fully meet all standard requirements but can demonstrate sufficient remediation.
