Specifies that certain medical titles or specialty designations are reserved for the use of licensed physicians
HB 1130 reserves specific medical titles and specialty designations (like "MD," "cardiologist," or "pediatrician") exclusively for licensed physicians. It explicitly lists 43 titles that can only be used by physicians licensed under state law, with the exception of "chiropractic physician" for those licensed under Chapter 331. The bill defines which professional titles require medical licensure, directly affecting healthcare providers who use these terms in practice. This is a procedural bill clarifying terminology, not creating new healthcare programs or funding.
