INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Gray

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 2168.2 of the Business and Professions
Code, relating to medicine.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1269, as introduced, Gray. Medicine: special faculty permit.
   The Medical Practice Act provides for the licensure and regulation
of physicians and surgeons by the Medical Board of California.
Existing law formerly provided for a Division of Medical Quality and
a Division of Licensing within the board. Under existing law, any
person who meets certain eligibility requirements, including, but not
limited to, the requirement that the person is academically eminent,
as defined, may apply for a special faculty permit that authorizes
the holder to practice medicine, without a physician's and surgeon's
certificate, within the medical school itself and certain affiliated
institutions. Existing law sets forth requirements for the
application for a special faculty permit.
   This bill would delete outdated references to the Division of
Licensing of the board in that provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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