The respective boards shall select their members to serve on the physician assistant rules review group. The review group shall select its own chairperson.
The review group shall review and approve or disapprove rules proposed for adoption by the board of physician assistant examiners. Approval shall be a simple majority of the members of the group. A rule shall not become effective without the approval of the review group.
