Abstract:

In 1981, the Governmental Evaluation Commission will conduct an appraisal of the performance of state professional licensing boards in the health care field. A critical area in licensing legislation is the language authorizing boards to enforce a code of professional conduct. In several cases, the state supreme court has found such statutes to be an unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority from the General Assembly to the licensing board.
