Board of Medicine rule relating to licensure, practice requirements, disciplinary and complaint procedures, and continuing education for physician assistants

SB 343 authorizes West Virginia's Board of Medicine to create new rules governing physician assistants' licensure, practice standards, disciplinary procedures, and continuing education requirements. The bill specifically references an existing rule (11 CSR 01B) filed in July 2025 and updates the legal framework to allow the Board to formally adopt these rules. This directly affects physician assistants and the Board of Medicine, as it establishes the legal basis for future regulations impacting their professional practice. The bill itself does not change current rules but enables the Board to develop and implement them through official rulemaking procedures.
