Bill > SB0290

This bill amends the Michigan Public Health Code to add a new ground for disciplinary action against healthcare professionals related to gender-affirming treatment for minors. Specifically, the bill adds a provision that allows for disciplinary action based on a "final order or judgment under the protecting minors from chemical and surgical mutilation act," which would result in potential sanctions including license revocation, denial, or other penalties. The bill modifies existing sections of the law that outline grounds for disciplinary action and associated sanctions for healthcare professionals. The disciplinary subcommittee would now be required to take action if a healthcare professional receives a final court order related to providing gender-affirming treatments to minors. The bill is tied to another piece of legislation (Senate Bill 289) and will only take effect if that companion bill is also enacted. The changes potentially impact healthcare professionals' ability to provide certain medical treatments to minors, with significant professional consequences for those who are found to have violated the new provision.
