The North Carolina Medical Board has released draft disciplinary rules, published in the July 15, 2011 North Carolina Register. These proposed rules attempt to fulfill the intent set forth by SB 958, passed by the North Carolina General Assembly in August of 2009.
The NCMS was involved in many discussions with the Medical Board prior to the filing of these rules and will continue to voice any concerns that remain throughout the rule-making process.
The proposed effective date of these rules is December 1, 2011, with a public hearing to be held on September 13, 2011 at 10:00 AM in the Medical Board’s office in Raleigh. If you would like to submit written comments to the Medical Board regarding the proposed rules please do so by writing to:
