SB 413 Louisiana Senate · 2026 Regular Session

PHYSICIANS: Provides relative to the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners. (8/1/26) (OR NO IMPACT SG EX See Note)

This bill amends the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners by requiring the appointment of an executive director who is not a physician licensed by the board. The change directly affects the board's leadership structure and aims to diversify the administrative oversight of medical licensing in the state. By mandating that the executive director be a non-physician, the legislation introduces a new requirement for how the board selects its top administrative official. This provision is part of a broader update to the board's duties and powers outlined in the Louisiana Revised Statutes.
