Making a technical correction to the surcharges authorized for certified anesthesiologist assistants.

SB 5877 makes a technical correction to include certified anesthesiologist assistants explicitly in the existing $70 annual surcharge for license renewals. This surcharge, collected by the Department of Health, funds the physician health program and was previously only formally listed for physicians and physician assistants. The bill updates the language in three state code sections to ensure anesthesiologist assistants are clearly covered under the same surcharge mechanism. It does not change the surcharge amount, funding purpose, or requirements for anesthesiologist assistants. The correction ensures administrative accuracy for this specific healthcare profession.
