AI Summary

This bill aims to expedite the physician licensure process in Massachusetts. It amends the state's laws to require the medical board to review and process applications for physician registration within 90 days of submission. Additionally, the bill mandates that the board issue a temporary registration to a physician if it fails to make a determination on the renewal of their certificate within 90 days of the complete renewal application's submission. This is intended to allow the physician to complete the credentialing and privileging process at the hospital where they are or will be employed.
