IL SB2758

Allows physicians to collaborate with up to 7 full-time equivalent physician assistants through a collaborative agreement, with no employment relationship required and no requirement that the collaborating physician be physically present at the practice location

Removes the requirement that collaborative agreements between physicians and physician assistants be written, and eliminates the requirement for physicians to file notice of employment, discharge, or collaboration with the Department

Shifts authority in hospitals, hospital affiliates, and ambulatory surgical treatment centers so that the medical staff (rather than the attending physician) determines a physician assistant's role in providing patient care

Renames the Physician Assistant Advisory Committee to the Physician Assistant Medical Licensing Board, changes its composition to include 4 physician assistants and 2 physicians (instead of 3 and 3), and expands its role from advisory to managing and regulating physician assistant matters

Maintains prescriptive authority provisions allowing physician assistants to prescribe Schedule II-V controlled substances with collaborating physician approval, with Schedule II prescriptions limited to 30-day supplies and requiring monthly patient discussions with the collaborating physician
