Restore Funds to Board of Medicine

Item 299 #1h

Language
Page 256, line 46, strike "$22,815,937" and insert "$24,495,937".

Explanation
(This amendment restores funding to the Department of Health Professions for past transfers made to the Department of Health for physician financial incentives to practice in medically underserved areas of the Commonwealth. The transfer of physician licensing fees (approximately $560,000 annually) has contributed to a budget shortfall at the Board of Medicine, thus requiring a mandatory increase in physician license fees.)
