HF 3043 Summary

• Allows physicians with active licenses to request Board of Medical Practice approval for license cancellation if no investigation or disciplinary proceeding is pending, with such cancellation reported as cancellation in good standing.

• Changes the date restriction for license nonrenewal from "on or after January 1, 1989" to "and is not subject to a pending review, investigation, or disciplinary action" before the two-year renewal cycle requirement applies.

• Modifies the statute of limitations for Board proceedings to require complaints or reports be received within seven years from the date of the alleged offense or misconduct, except for violations of subdivision 1, paragraph (t).

• Updates Board language from "shall" to "must" and clarifies that proceedings shall be "initiated" rather than "instituted" for consistency in regulatory terminology.
