2005 SESSION
HB 1939 Health professionals; unprofessional conduct.
Introduced by: John M. O'Bannon, III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Health professions; unprofessional conduct. Consolidates and updates various provisions relating to the Board of Medicine's licensure and disciplinary authority and the appointments to the Board. The bill removes the Virginia Academy of Clinical Psychologists from the nomination process for the appointment of members to the Board of Medicine because the clinical psychologist position on the Board was abolished several years ago when the licensure of clinical psychologists was placed solely with the Board of Psychology. The bill amends the Board's provisions on unprofessional conduct to consolidate all elements of unprofessional conduct into one section and now clearly provides that the provisions apply to applicants for licensure, as well as licensees of the Board. Finally, the bill clarifies the actions constituting unprofessional conduct by consolidating the enumerated behavior into one statute. Thus, the Board's authority is clear in regard to denial of a license or certificate or refusal to admit a candidate to an examination or other disciplinary actions for all professions regulated by the Board.
