LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2193, Salas. California Board of Podiatric Medicine: Physician
Assistant Board: extension.
Existing law provides for the certification and regulation of
podiatrists by the California Board of Podiatric Medicine within the
jurisdiction of the Medical Board of California. Under existing law,
provisions establishing the California Board of Podiatric Medicine
will be repealed on January 1, 2017.
This bill would extend the operation of the California Board of
Podiatric Medicine until January 1, 2021, and make nonsubstantive
changes.
Existing law, the Physician Assistant Practice Act, provides for
the licensure and regulation of physician assistants by the Physician
Assistant Board, which is within the jurisdiction of the Medical
Board of California, and authorizes the Physician Assistant Board,
except as specified, to employ personnel necessary to carry out the
provisions of that act, including an executive officer. Existing law
repeals provisions establishing the Physician Assistant Board and the
authorization for the board to employ personnel as of January 1,
2017. Existing law establishes the Physician Assistant Fund and
authorizes all money in the fund to be used to carry out the
provisions of the Physician Assistant Practice Act.
This bill would extend the operation of the Physician Assistant
Board and the board's authority to employ personnel until January 1,
2021. The bill would instead authorize all money in the Physician
Assistant Fund to be available, upon appropriation of the
Legislature, to carry out the provisions of the act.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 2460 of the Business and Professions Code is

Board of California the California Board of Podiatric Medicine.
(b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2021, and as of that date is repealed. Notwithstanding any other law,
the repeal of this section renders the California Board of Podiatric

the Legislature.
SEC. 2. Section 2499 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:

jurisdiction of the Medical Board of California. The board consists
of nine members. This section shall remain in effect only until
