Bill > HB1032

This bill extends the sunset date for the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2030. A sunset provision is a legislative mechanism that automatically terminates a government agency or law after a specified period unless explicitly renewed. In this case, the bill re-creates the Board, which is responsible for overseeing medical licensing in Oklahoma, and ensures its continuation for an additional five years. The Board will continue to be composed of seven allopathic physicians (medical doctors who practice traditional Western medicine) and four lay members, all appointed by the Governor. The physician members must be licensed in Oklahoma, graduates of recognized medical schools, and have actively practiced in the state for at least three years prior to their appointment. The bill maintains the current Board members' terms and does not make substantive changes to the Board's structure or responsibilities, focusing solely on extending its operational timeline.
