Bill > HB3225

This bill modifies the requirements for professional medical corporations in Oregon, adding more specific criteria for physicians who hold majority shares or serve as directors. The bill stipulates that in addition to being licensed to practice medicine in Oregon and holding majority shares and director positions, these physicians must also: have a domicile within the state (determined by ORS 15.420), reside in Oregon for at least 275 days per calendar year, and be actively involved in providing or managing patient care. The bill maintains existing exemptions for certain types of medical service providers, such as nonprofit corporations serving migrant, rural, homeless, or medically underserved populations, and rural health clinics. The legislation preserves the original provisions that require physicians to hold majority voting shares and director positions, while adding more stringent residency and engagement requirements. The bill will take effect on the 91st day after the 2025 regular legislative session adjourns, ensuring that medical corporations have time to understand and comply with the new requirements.
