AI Summary
This bill modifies the composition of the Board of Medicine, which is the state agency responsible for licensing and regulating medical professionals. Specifically, it removes the previous requirement that the Board must include one physician from each congressional district, and instead mandates that there be a total of 11 physicians on the Board, without the geographic restriction. The bill also eliminates provisions that would have automatically vacated a physician Board member's position if they moved out of their appointed congressional district, simplifying the residency requirements for physician members.
