Bill No. 1032 aims to amend the existing law regarding the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision in Oklahoma. The bill re-creates the Board and modifies its termination date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2030, in accordance with the Oklahoma Sunset Law. The composition of the Board remains unchanged, consisting of seven allopathic physicians licensed to practice in the state and four lay members, all of whom must be residents of Oklahoma. The physician members are required to have actively practiced medicine in the state for at least three years prior to their appointment.

Additionally, the bill ensures that all current members of the Board will continue to serve for the remainder of their existing terms. This legislative action reflects the state's commitment to maintaining oversight and regulation of medical licensure while extending the operational timeline of the Board for an additional five years.
