Bill > SB873

This bill modifies the qualifications for obtaining a medical license in Oregon by amending existing state law. Specifically, the bill maintains the current requirements for medical licensure, which include graduating from an approved medical school, completing post-graduate training (such as an internship or approved program depending on the medical school's origin), complying with Oregon Medical Board rules, and demonstrating good moral character. The bill removes a reference to ORS 677.120 in the application requirements and completely repeals that specific statute. The bill also includes a standard effective date provision, which states that the law will take effect 91 days after the 2025 regular session of the Oregon Legislative Assembly adjourns. The key changes appear to be technical in nature, primarily streamlining the language around medical licensing requirements without substantially altering the fundamental qualifications for obtaining a medical license in Oregon.
