House Study Bill 168

Bill Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 149.5, unnumbered paragraph 1, Code
  1  2 2003, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    A license to practice podiatry shall not authorize the
  1  4 licensee to amputate the human foot or use any general
  1  5 anesthetics other than local.  
  1  6                           EXPLANATION
  1  7    This bill provides for a change in language contained in
  1  8 Code section 149.5 regarding the administration of anesthetics
  1  9 by a podiatrist.  Currently, Code section 149.5 provides that
  1 10 a podiatrist shall not be authorized to utilize any
  1 11 anesthetics other than local anesthetics.  In response to some
  1 12 ambiguity regarding the scope of the term "local" anesthetics,
  1 13 the bill changes the way the provision is phrased, to clarify
  1 14 that a podiatrist is not authorized to administer general
  1 15 anesthetics.
