This bill amends the interstate medical licensure compact to allow the Board of Medical Practice to perform a criminal background check for a physician who has designated Minnesota as the state of principal license. The background check must be conducted as provided under the general law governing health-related licensing boards. The board must use the criminal background check to evaluate a physician’s eligibility for a letter of qualification and may not disseminate the data except as allowed by law. An exemption is included for a physician seeking expedited licensure who has not designated Minnesota as the state of principal license if the state of principal license has performed a background check within the last 12 months.
An immediate effective date is included.
