SB 93 revises the Texas Medical Board’s rulemaking, complaint handling, and disciplinary procedures. It requires public hearings and comments for most rule adoptions and establishes stricter complaint filing criteria, such as sworn affidavits for certain complaints. The bill also limits the board’s authority to investigate complaints to within three years of the alleged violation, except in cases involving minors or criminal offenses. It mandates detailed standards for expert panels reviewing medical competency and sets conditions for dismissing complaints that fail to meet a three-fourths vote threshold.
