Provides that average time to issue licenses to physicians shall not exceed 51 days.
This bill requires New Jersey's State Board of Medical Examiners to ensure that the average processing time for physician license applications (from when all required documents are received) does not exceed 51 days. It directly affects the Board and physicians seeking licensure in the state. The key provisions mandate the Board to meet this 51-day average target and submit annual reports to the legislature tracking progress toward this goal. The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment.
