Revises provisions relating to health care. (BDR 54-38)
SB 124 creates a new "limited license" pathway for foreign medical graduates (excluding Canadian-licensed doctors) to practice medicine in Nevada under specific conditions. It allows eligible applicants - those with recent postgraduate training in their home country, English proficiency, good moral standing, and U.S. Medical Licensing Exam completion - to obtain a limited license, but requires them to practice under the supervision of a licensed physician with at least two years of specialty experience and adhere to a written practice agreement. After two years of full-time supervised practice in qualifying settings (like federally-qualified health centers or rural clinics), limited license holders may apply for an unrestricted license with supervising physicians' recommendations. The bill also requires the Board of Medical Examiners to annually report on this program to the legislature.

Scope change
No change to the bill's scope or applicability; the text represents the final version ready for the Governor's signature.
TECHNICAL
Removed internal legislative headers, committee references, and draft markings (e.g., 'Reprint 1', 'PREFILED') that are not part of the final law.
Added the official 'As Enrolled' title block and joint sponsor designation to indicate the bill has passed both legislative chambers.
Reformatted the Legislative Counsel's Digest to remove line numbers and adjust spacing for the final publication format.
