A bill for an act relating to licenses to practice medicine and surgery or osteopathic medicine and surgery, and administrative medicine licenses.

HF 2545 modifies licensing rules for physicians (including osteopathic physicians) and administrative medicine license holders in Iowa. It limits license renewal to no more than every three years, requires licenses to expire on the licensee's birthday, and caps continuing education requirements at 15 hours per calendar year. The bill also mandates that licensing boards issue final application decisions within 45 days (or 75 days if delays are notified), with specific documentation requirements. These changes directly affect all medical professionals holding active licenses under Iowa law.
