	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 245, Ma. Physicians and surgeons.
   Existing law, the Medical Practice Act, provides for the licensure
and regulation of physicians and surgeons by the Medical Board of
California. Existing law requires the board to post certain
information on the Internet regarding licensed physicians and
surgeons, including, but not limited to, felony convictions, certain
misdemeanor convictions, and whether or not the licensees are in good
standing. Existing law requires that certain information remain
posted for 10 years and prohibits the removal of certain other
information.
   This bill would require the board to remove expunged misdemeanor
or felony convictions posted pursuant to those provisions within 90
days of receiving a copy of the expungement order from the licensee.



THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 2027.1 is added to the Business and Professions
Code, to read:
   2027.1.  Notwithstanding subdivision (b) of Section 2027, the
board shall remove an expunged misdemeanor or felony conviction
posted pursuant to Section 2027 within 90 days of receiving a copy of
the expungement order from the licensee.
