Bill > SB83

This bill expands the grounds for disciplinary action by various health occupations boards in Maryland to include instances where a professional has been disciplined by any branch of the uniformed services (such as the military) or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, in addition to existing grounds like discipline or conviction by a court or licensing authority in another state or country. Specifically, for naturopathic doctors, the bill also clarifies that conviction or discipline by a court in any state or country can be grounds for disciplinary action by the State Board of Physicians. The bill aims to ensure that disciplinary actions taken by federal entities or courts in other jurisdictions are recognized and can lead to disciplinary measures within Maryland's health professions.
