SB 4: AN ACT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH - LICENSING AND REGULATION BOARDS APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2026-2027 FISCAL YEAR.

This bill amends state law to set stricter requirements for foreign-trained physicians seeking medical licenses in Arkansas. To qualify, a doctor must have a full-time job offer in a medically underserved area and meet specific criteria, including holding an active foreign license, practicing medicine for four years, and passing a credentialing exam. The legislation directly impacts international medical graduates by adding these new conditions to their application process.
