AB 1896 California Assembly · 2011-2012 Regular Session

Tribal health programs: health care practitioners.

Summary

Under existing federal law, licensed health professionals employed by a tribal health program are required to be exempt, if licensed in any state, from the licensing requirements of the state in which the tribal health program performs specified services. A tribal health program is defined as an Indian tribe or tribal organization that operates any health program, service, function, activity, or facility funded, in whole or part, by the Indian Health Service. Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of health care practitioners by various healing arts boards within the Department of Consumer Affairs. This bill would codify that federal requirement by specifying that a person who is licensed as a health care practitioner in any other state and is employed by a tribal health program is exempt from this state's licensing requirements with respect to acts authorized under the person's license where the tribal health program performs specified services.
