The bill, ENROLLED HOUSE BILL NO. 1032, aims to amend the existing law regarding the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision in Oklahoma. Specifically, it 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 Board will continue to consist of seven allopathic physicians and four lay members, with specific qualifications for the physician members, including being licensed to practice in Oklahoma and having actively practiced for the three years prior to their appointment.

This legislative change ensures the ongoing operation of the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision for an extended period, allowing it to continue its regulatory functions in overseeing medical practice in the state. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining qualified and experienced members on the Board, as all current members will serve out their existing terms.
