	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Fox

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2014

   An act to amend Section 2034 of the Business and Professions Code,
relating to healing arts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2580, as introduced, Fox. Medical licenses.
    Existing law, the Medical Practice Act, provides for the
licensure and regulation of medical practitioners by the Medical
Board of California in the Department of Consumer Affairs. The board
may determine that an applicant for a physician and surgeon's
certificate has satisfied specified requirements if, among other
things, he or she has not been the subject of a disciplinary action
by a medical licensing authority. A "medical licensing authority,"
for purposes of the act, is defined as an officer, board, commission,
or department of another state upon whose certificate a reciprocity
certificate may be issued.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to those
provisions.
   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 2034 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   2034.  "Medical licensing authority" refers to  any
  an  officer, board, commission, or department of
another state upon whose certificate a reciprocity certificate may be
issued.
