Source-supplied abstracts

The Act authorizes licensed Physician Assistants (PA) in Delaware to pronounce death and to complete a medical certification of death. This Act also removes registered nurses from the list of practitioners who may complete a medical certification of death, as it conflicts with the scope of practice set out in Title 24. This Act also makes technical changes to conform to the Legislative Drafting Manual.
