Editorial: Scope-of-Practice Bills Require More Debate
A Sacramento Bee editorial argues that bills (SB 491, SB 492, SB 493) that would expand the scope of practice of non-physicians in California "have merits and lapses," adding that "[m]ore dialogue is needed to identify both the former and latter." According to the editorial, state lawmakers "should not rush to pass" the bills until "[l]egitimate concerns" about the measures have been "considered in some depth."
