Senate Bill 402 amends the Occupations Code to continue the Texas State Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners until September 1, 2017. In addition to across-the-board sunset provisions, the bill sets out provisions restricting board member eligibility to serve on certain advisory committees and requires the board to adopt rules relating to conviction for offenses that would constitute grounds for board action. Senate Bill 402 raises the cap on the amount of an administrative penalty from $2,500 to $5,000 and requires the board to develop a standardized penalty schedule for violations.
