House Bill No. 1032 aims to amend the existing law regarding the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision by re-creating the Board and extending its termination date. Specifically, the bill modifies the termination date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2030, ensuring the Board continues to operate under the provisions of the Oklahoma Sunset Law. The composition of the Board remains unchanged, consisting of seven allopathic physicians and four lay members, all of whom must be residents of Oklahoma and appointed by the Governor.

The bill also stipulates that the physician members must have graduated from recognized medical schools and have actively practiced medicine in the state for at least three years prior to their appointment. Importantly, all current members of the Board will continue to serve for the remainder of their terms, ensuring continuity in leadership and governance within the Board.
