AGENDA ITEM 1

Call to Order and Announcements

The meeting was called to order by Dr. Hug-English at 8:05 a.m.

Dr. Hug-English did a roll call, all board members were present except Dr. Titus and she announced that Larry Mathias of the Nevada State Medical Association was present at the board office.

AGENDA ITEM 2

Chapter 630 of the Nevada Administrative Code

Consideration of Approval of Proposed Amendments to NAC 630.080

Mr. Legarza confirmed that the board members received a copy of the proposed amendments to NAC 630.080. He reported that no one appeared at either workshop and that he received no written correspondence on the matters..

Dr. Hug-English asked Mr. Mathias to present his testimony.

Mr. Mathias of the Nevada State Medical Association stated that the association supports the proposed amendments to NAC 630.080, and informed the board that the Nevada State Medical Association sent a notice to all Medical Doctors about the regulations and the process. Mr. Mathias stated that the association is pleased the regulation change allows flexibility and permits a person to be licensed with USMLE technical problems, and that absence of any testimony from licensees must mean support for the amendment.

Dr. Hug-English thanked Mr. Mathias and the Nevada State Medical Association for the testimony.

Dr. Baepler made a motion to adopt the new amendments to NAC 630.080. Dr. Stewart seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously, with the chair voting in favor of the motion.
