Introduced by: T. Montgomery "Monty" Mason | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Local health director; qualifications. Amends the qualification requirements for local health directors to provide that a person may be a local health director if he possess a master's or doctoral degree in the area of public health and has at least three years of professional experience in a full-time position in either a public health agency or public health-related position or is otherwise qualified for the position as determined by the Commissioner of Health. Currently, only a person who is a physician licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth may be a local health director. The bill provides that if a local health director is not a physician licensed to practice medicine and there is no licensed physician on staff, the local health director shall enter into a consulting agreement with a licensed physician to execute prescribing duties, consult on clinical matters, and perform all other duties as requested.
