Resolve, To Direct The Board Of Licensure In Medicine And The Board Of Osteopathic Licensure To Conduct A Study Regarding The Feasibility Of Combining Those Boards

LD 805 directs Maine's Board of Licensure in Medicine and Board of Osteopathic Licensure to study whether merging into a single board for licensing physicians and physician assistants is feasible. The study must prioritize public safety and be completed by December 31, 2025. The boards will submit their findings to the Health Coverage Committee, which may propose legislation based on the report for the next legislative session. This bill does not change current licensing rules but initiates an evaluation of potential structural changes.
