MINOR
The bill progressed from an introduced draft to its final enrolled version, retaining the core policy of repealing a special license that allowed out-of-state physicians to practice in Oregon without meeting standard qualifications. The primary change is the addition of signature lines for legislative approval and governor's signature, confirming the bill has passed both chambers and is ready for implementation.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the policy content remains identical to the introduced version.
TECHNICAL
Added signature lines and dates for the Senate, House, Governor, and Secretary of State to formally document the bill's passage and approval process.
Removed the 'SUMMARY' section and editorial notes that were present in the introduced version but are not needed in the final enrolled bill.
Adjusted formatting and spacing throughout the document to conform to official enrolled bill standards.
