Physicians and surgeons: sexual misconduct and offenses: reinstatement of surrendered certificate.
Enrolled and presented to the Governor at 3 p.m.
Summary
The bill changes California law so that physicians whose licenses were surrendered during a sexual‑misconduct investigation, or who were revoked for such conduct, cannot have their certificates reinstated. It also prevents reinstatement for doctors convicted of sexual offenses involving patients or who must register as sex offenders. The aim is to keep doctors who harmed patients from returning to practice.
