Senate Bill 1225 |
Senate Author: Huffman et al. |

Effective: 6-19-09 |
House Sponsor: Eissler |
Previous law authorized the Texas Medical Board to issue, under certain conditions, a faculty temporary license to practice medicine to a physician appointed by a medical school in Texas to a full-time salaried faculty position of at least the level of assistant professor. Senate Bill 1225 amends the Occupations Code to clarify that a physician must hold a salaried position equivalent to at least the level of assistant professor and work full-time at one of the institutions enumerated in the statute. The bill adds to the list of such institutes an institutional sponsor of an accredited graduate medical education program or a certified nonprofit health corporation.
