  • American Legislative Exchange Council - ALEC

    Introduce the Patient Access Expansion Act in your state:

    This act prohibits the state from requiring any form of the Federation of State Medical Boards’ proprietary Maintenance of Licensure program, including any Maintenance of Licensure program tied to Maintenance of Certification, as a condition of medical licensure, and additionally prohibits the state from requiring Specialty Medical Board Certification and Maintenance of Certification in order to practice medicine within the state. This act also prohibits state medical boards, and any agencies or facilities accepting state funding, from discriminating against physicians who do not maintain specialty medical board recertification. This act in no way is intended to discourage lifelong learning or continuing medical education, and does not change the current status of physician licensure.
