These are the Administrative Rules that were agreed upon by the PA Advisory Committee to the Medical Board which consists of PAs, MDs, and DOs. These rules were developed over years of work and research. The Medical Board sent these for public comment, then formed their own subcommittee and re-wrote new rules changing much of the language.
