A 5236 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes education requirements for certain officers of State Board of Medical Examiners.

This bill requires that the president and vice president of New Jersey's State Board of Medical Examiners must hold a medical degree (M.D., D.O., or D.P.M.). Currently, the board elects these officers from its membership without specific medical qualifications. The bill amends state law to mandate this education requirement for the top two leadership positions. It directly affects the State Board of Medical Examiners by setting new eligibility standards for its president and vice president. The change takes effect four months after enactment to allow the board time to implement the new rule.
