SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health; qualifications for Commissioner. Expands the pool of persons eligible for the position of State Health Commissioner by adding, in addition to being certified by the American Board of Preventive Medicine, that the candidate may, instead, be certified by a recognized board in a primary care specialty as approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Any candidate will still be expected to have public health experience as currently provided in statute. Current qualifications severely narrow the field of candidates because so few individuals are certified by the American Board of Preventive Medicine.
