S 2128 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides that average time to issue licenses to physicians shall not exceed 51 days.

This bill requires New Jersey's State Board of Medical Examiners to process physician license applications so that the average time to approve or deny a license does not exceed 51 days after receiving all necessary application details. It directly affects physicians seeking licensure in New Jersey and the State Board of Medical Examiners. The key provision sets a strict 51-day processing deadline, and the Board must annually report to the Legislature on its progress toward meeting this target. The bill aims to streamline the licensing process without changing eligibility requirements for medical professionals.
