Amend CSHB 3758, on page 1, by striking lines 4 through 24
and substituting the following:
      SECTION 1.  Section 408.023, Labor Code, is amended by
amending Subsections (a) and (c) and adding Subsection (d) to read
as follows:
      (a)  Each doctor licensed in this state on January 1, 1993,
is on the commission's list of approved doctors unless subsequently
deleted and not reinstated.  Each doctor who performs services
under this subtitle and commission rules, including required
medical examinations under Section 408.004 and medical utilization
review evaluations for insurance carriers, is required to be on the
commission's list of approved doctors to perform the service or to
receive payment for services. The name of a doctor shall be placed
on the list of approved doctors when that doctor becomes licensed
in this state.  A doctor not licensed in this state but licensed in
another state or jurisdiction who treats employees or performs
services under this subtitle may not <apply to the commission to>
be included on the list, except that the commission may grant an
exception to this requirement to ensure that employees who do not
reside in this state have access to medical care and to allow the
commission to perform necessary review functions.
      (c)  A doctor may apply in writing to the commission to have
the doctor's name removed from the commission's list of approved
doctors.  A doctor whose name is deleted on request may apply for
reinstatement. 
      (d)  The commission shall establish procedures for a doctor
to apply for reinstatement to the list.
