The collaborative practice agreement generally spells out what the APP can do and how they will interact with the supervising physician(s). Some states have a standard form. In others you will have to draft from scratch, likely with the assistance of a healthcare attorney. I believe they're required in most if not all states.
Check with the state agency that licenses PA's, usually the same one that licenses physicians. For Nurse Practitioners check with the state Nursing board.

I suspect the name varies by state, but its a supervision agreement that lays out the MD who supervises the PA. Washington's link is below, and Nevada probably has its own too.

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is a Collaborative Agreement? We just have an employment agreement with PAs, so now I'm wondering if this is something different that I might be missing? I don't understand what standard form the state might have for this kind of arrangement where the PA works directly for the group.

Washington State has its own form as well.

Forum - When hiring a PA, would you typically have an attorney write the Collaborative Agreement? Or is it usually written by a practice admin/physician?
