2.18 	of practice for health care professionals in Minnesota. In making recommendations, the

2.20 	skills, the professional can provide health care services in a manner that does not jeopardize 
2.21 	the safety of a patient. The task force may not consider or base its recommendations on 
2.22 	whether another health care profession may provide the identical services.

2.24 	more than five may be licensed health care professionals. The 11 members shall be 
2.25 	appointed as follows:
