AI Summary
This bill modifies Tennessee's law regarding appointments to the Board of Medical Examiners by changing the language from a mandatory requirement to a permissive option. Specifically, the bill alters Section 63-6-102(a)(4) to replace the phrase "The governor shall consult" with "The governor may consult" when making appointments to the board. This means that while previously the governor was required to consult with medical groups before appointing members to the Board of Medical Examiners, the bill now makes such consultation optional. The change gives the governor more discretion in the appointment process, potentially streamlining the selection of board members. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, which emphasizes the public welfare as the rationale for the immediate implementation.
