SB 305, as introduced, Price. Healing arts: boards.
Existing law, the Osteopathic Act, establishes the Osteopathic Medical Board of California, which issues certificates to, and regulates, osteopathic physicians and surgeons.
This bill would require that the powers and duties of the board, as provided, be subject to review by the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature. The bill would require that review be performed as if those provisions were scheduled to be repealed as of January 1, 2018.
Existing law, the Naturopathic Doctors Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of naturopathic doctors by the Naturopathic Medicine Committee within the Osteopathic Medical Board of California. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2014. Existing law also specifies that the committee is subject to review by the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature.
This bill would instead repeal those provisions on January 1, 2018, and make conforming changes.
Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of respiratory care practitioners by the Respiratory Care Board of California. Existing law authorizes the board to employ an executive officer. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2014 and subjects the board to review by the Joint Sunset Review Committee.
This bill would instead repeal those provisions on January 1, 2018, and provide that the committee is subject to review by the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature.
