§ 1739. Legal liability
Physician assistants are responsible for their own medical decision making. A participating physician in a practice agreement with a physician assistant shall not, by the existence of the practice agreement alone, be legally liable for the actions or inactions of the physician assistant; provided, however, that this does not otherwise limit the liability of the participating physician. (Added 1981, No. 100, § 9; amended 1985, No. 208 (Adj. Sess.), § 12, eff. June 30, 1986; 2011, No. 61, § 4, eff. June 2, 2011; 2019, No. 123 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
