What’s in it
This bill allows a physician assistant to prescribe and administer buprenorphine and other medications used in the medication-assisted treatment of opioid use disorders in a manner consistent with federal law and regulations. The bill requires the board of medicine to adopt rules to administer the bill, which shall allow a physician assistant who has received a waiver from the federal drug enforcement administration to prescribe and administer a medication described in the bill if the physician assistant’s supervising physician is eligible to receive such a waiver.
