TO AMEND THE AUTOMATIC OCCUPATIONAL LICENSURE FOR OUT-OF-STATE LICENSURE ACT; TO APPLY THE AUTOMATIC OCCUPATIONAL LICENSURE FOR OUT-OF-STATE LICENSURE ACT TO PHYSICIANS.

SB 122 proposed to amend the state's Automatic Occupational Licensure for Out-of-State Licensure Act. The bill's primary purpose was to extend the provisions of this existing act to include physicians. If enacted, physicians holding a valid license in another state would have been able to automatically obtain an occupational license to practice in Arkansas. This aimed to simplify the licensing process for out-of-state physicians seeking to work in the state.
