Removing restrictions for supervising physicians for nurse practitioners or physician assistants in WV

SB 660 removes legal requirements that currently mandate nurse practitioners and physician assistants in West Virginia to practice under direct supervision of a physician. The bill amends multiple sections of the state code to eliminate supervision restrictions, allowing these healthcare providers to practice independently in most settings. Key provisions repeal specific sections (§30-3E-10a and §30-3E-11) that previously required physician oversight and amend other sections to align with this change. This directly affects nurse practitioners and physician assistants, enabling them to provide care without needing a collaborating physician's direct supervision in their practice locations.
