An Act amending the act of December 20, 1985 (P.L.457, No.112), known as the Medical Practice Act of 1985, further providing for temporary license.
HB 1066 amends Pennsylvania's Medical Practice Act to create a pathway for temporary medical licensees who graduated from international medical schools to obtain full, unrestricted licenses. To qualify, these individuals must have practiced medicine for at least three years outside the U.S., demonstrated competency to the State Board of Medicine, maintained good standing for two years after their temporary license was issued, and secured a job offer from a Pennsylvania healthcare facility. This provision applies only to eligible temporary licensees meeting all specified criteria, without altering general temporary license rules. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
