          SECTION *.  The State Medical Board of Licensure shall disclose to an inquiring member of the public information received pursuant to Section 4(10) of this act regarding convictions of, and judgments against, physicians participating in the Medical Malpractice Insurance Availability Plan.  The State Medical Board of Licensure may formulate appropriate disclaimers or explanatory statements to be included with any information released, and may, by regulation, establish categories of information that need not be disclosed to the public because that information is unreliable or not sufficiently related to the licensee's professional practice.  Beginning July 1, 2003, the State Medical Board of Licensure shall develop and operate a website and make the information received pursuant to Section 4(10) of this act available on its website.
