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 emphasizes the qualifications for the physician members, requiring them to be graduates of recognized medical schools and to have actively practiced medicine in Oklahoma for at least three years prior to their appointment. Additionally, it stipulates that all current Board members will continue to serve their existing terms. This legislation reflects the state's commitment to maintaining oversight and regulation of medical practice through the Board while ensuring its continued existence for an extended period.
