Relating to the verification of the accuracy of an application for a license to practice medicine in this state.

This bill requires Texas medical licensing officials to verify applicants' eligibility before issuing licenses. Specifically, it mandates checking the National Practitioner Data Bank, confirming no disciplinary actions in other states, and reviewing all application details. If officials fail to verify properly and a physician with an ineligible license causes harm, the licensing director could be held liable for damages. The law applies to license applications submitted on or after September 1, 2025, and takes effect that date.
