Allow physician assistants, nurse practitioners, CRNAs to function as medical directors of any medical facility

LC 2872 proposed allowing physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and CRNAs (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists) to serve as medical directors at any medical facility. If enacted, this would directly affect these healthcare providers by expanding their scope of practice to include a leadership role currently restricted to physicians. The bill aimed to change existing regulations that limited medical director positions to physicians. However, the bill died in the legislative process on May 27, 2025, and was never enacted into law.
