     SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

                   STATEMENT TO

                 SENATE, No. 4457

 STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                     DATED: MAY 22, 2025

    The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate Bill
No. 4457.
    This bill replaces instances of “physician assistant” and its
variants in the statutory law of this State to “physician associate”
and makes certain technical changes.
    In May 2021, the American Academy of Physician Associates
(AAPA), formerly the American Academy of Physician Assistants,
the national organization representing physician associates voted to
change the title of “physician assistant” to “physician associate.”
The bill changes the State’s statutory law to conform to the AAPA’s
usage of its preferred term.
