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 hold a medical degree as either an allopathic physician (M.D.), an osteopathic physician (D.O.), or a doctor of podiatric medicine (D.P.M.). The bill also specifies that these new requirements will take effect four months after enactment to allow the board time to comply.
