Allow physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and CRNAs to function as Medical Directors

This bill (LC 2878) proposed allowing physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) to serve as medical directors in healthcare facilities - currently a role restricted to physicians. If passed, it would directly affect these healthcare providers and the facilities employing them by expanding who can hold this leadership position overseeing clinical operations. The bill died in committee on May 27, 2025, and was never enacted into law. It did not advance beyond the drafting stage.
