What this amendment would do

SA 6300, submitted by Ms. Collins and Mr. Blumenthal, aims to add physician assistants and nurse practitioners to the Federal Employees' Compensation Act.

The amendment intends to change the law by:

  • Defining an "other eligible provider" as a physician assistant or nurse practitioner working within the scope of their practice as defined by State law.

  • Updating title 5, United States Code, to include these eligible providers alongside physicians in various sections.

  • Requiring the Secretary of Labor to finalize rules to carry out these changes within 180 days after the Act is enacted.
