Bill Caption

Relating to a determination by the Texas Medical Board of physician's specialty board certification. 

Fiscal Notes

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. 

Bill Analysis

SB 1502 would clarify that specialty physicians are considered board-certified specialists in Texas based on their initial board certification, not the maintenance of the certification. 

Vote Recommendation Notes

SB 1502 removes barriers on the certification and recertification process of the medical industry. This benefits the principles of limited government, the free market, and individual liberty. Texas Action supports SB 1502.
