This bill makes a number of technical changes to the law concerning the Board of Licensure in Medicine.

1. It clarifies and provides specific grounds for disciplining physician assistants.

2. It changes the postgraduate training requirements for licensure to require the completion of a postgraduate residency training program by persons graduating from an accredited or nonaccredited medical school on or after July 1, 2004.

3. It repeals sections of law referring to a state examination and reexamination of physician licensure applicants since the board now uses the national standardized examination set.

4. It changes the nomenclature of the "locum tenens" license.

5. It requires physicians 70 years of age or older who continue active practice to pay license registration fees.
