Weekly Legislative Update No. 13

by bnolting@maysquarellc.com | Apr 10, 2026 | Member News, Uncategorized

April 10, 2026 No. 13   SAUSAGE PRODUCTION SLOWING It was a weird week in the legislature.  There seemed to be a bit of a lack of movement on bills of any real substance.  Thankfully, there was no advancement of bills that are bad for medicine.  Unfortunately,...

April President’s Message

March 12, 2026 No. 10   PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT COLLABORATION We started out the week dealing with a real humdinger of a bill that would undermine and weaken team-based care for patients.  House Bill 2749 would allow hospitals to use a “master” CPA that would apply...

March 6, 2026 No. 9   BIG MOVEMENT ON PAD Physician Advocacy Day 2026 was one to remember.  We could not have picked a better day for it.  A couple of our core issues had committee hearings.  It was awesome to have committee rooms packed with white coats as...
