BOARDS/COMMISSIONS: Amends the appointing process for certain occupational licensing boards, committees, and authorities

HB 603 amends appointment rules for certain occupational licensing boards and committees. It changes the composition of medical licensing boards from ten voting members to nine licensed physicians plus one consumer member. Additionally, it specifies that two members of a real estate lending committee must be appointed by the governor from a list of candidates provided by the Louisiana Bankers Association, all with at least five years of real estate lending experience. The bill directly affects how these boards are staffed, particularly impacting medical licensing and real estate lending oversight.
