LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1466, as introduced, Glazer.
Podiatry.
Existing law requires the Podiatric Medical Board of California to enforce and administer certain enforcement provisions of the Medical Practice Act as to doctors of podiatric medicine. Existing law vests the board with other specific enforcement powers.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
Existing law establishes various fees applicable to certificates to practice podiatric medicine, including, but not limited to, a duplicate wall certificate fee, a duplicate renewal receipt fee, and an endorsement fee. Existing law requires these fees to be deposited in the Podiatric Medical Board Fund and makes these fees subject to appropriation by the Legislature.
This bill would delete those fees, and establish a duplicate certificate fee of
$100.
