This bill amends subsection 4 of section 43-17.3-01 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the definition of a "licensee" eligible for participation in the physician health program. The revised definition now includes not only current physicians and health professionals under the board's jurisdiction but also extends to applicants for licensure or regulation by the board, as well as former licensees of the board.

The changes made by this bill aim to broaden the scope of individuals who can participate in the physician health program, thereby potentially increasing support and resources available to a wider range of health professionals. The inclusion of former licensees acknowledges the ongoing need for assistance and rehabilitation for those who may have previously held a license.
