LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 1182, as introduced, Santiago. Physicians and surgeons: licensure.

The Medical Practice Act provides for the licensure and regulation of physicians and surgeons by the Medical Board of California. The act requires an applicant for a physician’s and surgeon’s certificate to comply with general requirements for licensure unless other specific requirements apply to the particular class of applicant.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that physician’s and surgeon’s certificate provision.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
