OMA Board has proposed a new by-law disfranchising retired members who have given up their CPSO licence, (nearly$1500/year). The members would not be able to take ANY elected OMA post.
The by-law was not approved by the approx. 260 delegates at the last Council meeting. The Board intends to try to pass this by-law at the November Council meeting.
This proposed policy affects about 4000 retired doctors. About 125 have already given up their CPSO licenses. At present FIVE Council members do not have a CPSO licence.
There is no reduction in CPSO fees for retired physicians.
