AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 2 of Chapter 112 of the General Laws, which pertains to the registration of physicians. Specifically, it adds a new provision stating that if a registered physician is convicted of three separate cases of medical malpractice, the board responsible for physician registration (likely the Board of Registration in Medicine) must revoke that physician's license to practice. This change aims to strengthen disciplinary actions against physicians with a pattern of malpractice.
