Bill Summary

This bill amends R.S.45:9-2 to require the State Board of Medical Examiners (the board) to elect a vice president in addition to a president, a secretary, and a treasurer, and requires the president and vice president to be an allopathic physician (M.D.), an osteopathic physician (D.O.), or a doctor of podiatric medicine (D.P.M.). This bill will take effect on the first day of the fourth month next following the date of enactment to allow the board sufficient time to comply with the new education requirements for its officers.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to require the State Board of Medical Examiners to elect a vice president in addition to its current officers, and mandates that both the president and vice president must be an allopathic physician (M.D.), an osteopathic physician (D.O.), or a doctor of podiatric medicine (D.P.M.), ensuring leadership roles are held by qualified medical professionals. The bill also specifies that the board's president or secretary can issue subpoenas for witness testimony and administer oaths, and that the board has the authority to create necessary rules and regulations. This legislation will become effective on the first day of the fourth month after its enactment, providing the board with time to adjust to these new requirements for its leadership.
