Nebraska LB914 would eliminate physician liability for negligence of physician assistants.

Nebraska LB914 seeks to amend the Medicine and Surgery Practice Act by removing the liability for physicians and physician groups regarding negligent acts or omissions of physician assistants under their supervision. The bill proposes to repeal section 38-2053 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, which currently holds physicians accountable for such negligence. This change would protect physicians from legal repercussions for the actions of physician assistants they oversee.
