Anesthesiologist assistants; provide for licensure and regulation by Board of Medical Licensure.

HB 1415 establishes a licensing and regulatory framework for anesthesiologist assistants in Mississippi, requiring them to obtain a license from the State Board of Medical Licensure to practice. It mandates completion of an accredited education program, passing a certification exam, and working exclusively under the supervision of a licensed anesthesiologist who delegates specific duties. The bill prohibits unlicensed practice, imposing criminal penalties for violations, and authorizes the Board to grant, revoke, or reinstate licenses based on disciplinary actions. This directly affects anesthesiologist assistants, defining their scope of practice and ensuring oversight by supervising physicians.
