Board of Medical Licensure; revise licensure status, definitions, procedure, fines and temporary practice authority.

SB 2454 revises Mississippi's medical licensing rules to clarify procedures for physicians and the Board of Medical Licensure. It creates a "retired status" option for doctors, adds electronic license renewal notices, and updates disciplinary processes - including requiring hearings within 30 days if a physician's practice poses an immediate danger. The bill clarifies who must be licensed (excluding midwives and certain emergency providers), expands grounds for license restrictions to include behavioral issues, and mandates the Physician Health Program share performance data with the board. These changes directly affect all licensed physicians, applicants, and the Board of Medical Licensure in Mississippi.
