Summary
Existing law, the Medical Practice Act, establishes the Medical Board of California for the licensure and regulation of physicians and surgeons and requires the board to have 7 public members. This bill would increase the number of public members of the board from 7 to 8, would require the first vacant position held by a physician and surgeon occurring on or after January 1, 2023, to become a public member position for that purpose, and would make other conforming changes. Existing law requires board members to be citizens of this state for the 5 years preceding their appointment to the board and requires at least 4 physician members to hold faculty appointments in a clinical department of an approved medical school in the state. This bill would instead require board members to be residents of this state for the 5 years preceding their appointment and would decrease the number of physician members that are required to hold specified faculty appointments from 4 to 3 members. Existing law authorizes the board to carry out disciplinary actions against licensees, authorizes the board to appoint panels of at least 4 members for this purpose, and prohibits a panel from being comprised of more public members than licensed physicians and surgeons. This bill would delete the prohibition against a panel being comprised of more public members than licensed physicians and surgeons.
