A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO CHANGE THE REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO LICENSED PHYSICIAN REGISTRATION WITH THE NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL BOARD.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1. Effective January 1, 1997, G.S. 90-15.1 reads as rewritten:
"§ 90-15.1.  Registration every year with Board.
Every person licensed to practice medicine by the North Carolina Medical Board shall, prior to January 31 of each year, register with the Board. A person who registers with the Board shall report to the Board the person's name and office and residence address and any other information required by the Board, and shall pay a registration fee fixed by the Board not in excess of one hundred dollars ($100.00). For purposes of annual registration, the Board shall use a simplified registration form which allows registrants to confirm information on file with the Board. A physician who fails to register by January 31 shall pay an additional fee of twenty dollars ($20.00) to the Board. The license of any physician who fails to register by May 1 is automatically suspended. Upon payment of all accumulated fees and penalties, the license of the physician may be reinstated, subject to the Board requiring the physician to appear before the Board for an interview and to comply with other licensing requirements."
Sec. 2. This act is effective upon ratification.
