AI Summary
This bill amends Section 16221 of the Public Health Code to add a new ground for disciplinary action against health professionals - conviction of a criminal offense involving sexual conduct under the pretext of medical treatment. Specifically, it would allow for the permanent revocation of a health professional's license or registration if they are convicted of criminal sexual conduct offenses, such as sexual assault or battery, that occurred while the health professional was providing medical treatment. The bill aims to protect the public from health professionals who abuse their position of trust to engage in nonconsensual sexual acts.
