Bill > S4224

This bill amends existing law to modify the leadership structure and educational requirements for the State Board of Medical Examiners. Specifically, the bill requires the board to now elect a vice president in addition to its existing officer positions of president, secretary, and treasurer. The bill also mandates that both the president and vice president must hold a medical degree, which can be an M.D. (allopathic physician), D.O. (osteopathic physician), or D.P.M. (doctor of podiatric medicine). The new requirements aim to ensure that the board's top leadership positions are held by individuals with professional medical training. The bill will take effect on the first day of the fourth month following its enactment, giving the board sufficient time to implement these changes and ensure compliance with the new educational requirements for its officers.
