What it does

This bill relates to the board of medicine (board). The bill expands the number of public members on the board from three to five and requires that three of those members demonstrate a history of assertive patient safety advocacy. During an investigation of a person licensed to practice medicine and surgery or osteopathic medicine and surgery, the bill requires the board to allow the person who submitted the complaint under investigation, if any, to respond to evidence and arguments made by the licensee under investigation.
