What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the Medical Examining Board, which licenses physicians and certain other health care professionals, may promulgate rules requiring maintenance of certification in order to renew a license to practice medicine and surgery (physician license). This bill prohibits the board from promulgating such rules, and further provides that no physician may be required to secure maintenance of certification as a prerequisite for reimbursement from a third party or as a condition for being granted hospital staff privileges. The bill does not affect the board's authority to require the completion of continuing education, professional development, or performance improvement or continuing medical education programs in order to renew a physician license.
