Ohio looks to rename physician assistants in new bill.
What changed & why it matters
Med Spa Radar recorded state legislation in OH, dated May 5, 2026, in the Scope of Practice category.
State legislation is where scope-of-practice, supervision, good-faith-exam, ownership, and med-spa-licensure rules change — the requirements that most directly govern who may perform aesthetic procedures and under what oversight. It is specific to OH, whose med-spa requirements are set by OH statute and its licensing boards — distinct from federal rules and from every other state.
