AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure timely physician licensure by amending the existing laws in Massachusetts. Specifically, it requires the state's medical board to review and process applications for physician registration, including those who have been licensed in other states, within 90 days of submission. Additionally, the bill states that if the board does not make a decision on a physician's renewal application within 90 days, the board must issue a temporary registration to the physician so they can complete the credentialing process at the hospital where they are or will be employed.
