	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:

  SECTION 1.  Section 2080 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   2080.  (a) Except as otherwise provided, the provisions of this
article applicable to applications generally shall apply to all
certificates issued.
   (b)  Every   An  applicant for a
physician's and surgeon's certificate shall comply with  the
requirements of  this article unless other specific
requirements of this chapter are applicable to  a 
 the  particular class of applicant.
