Bill > HB4926

This bill amends the Michigan Public Health Code to establish a procedure for healthcare professionals to request the removal of certain disciplinary records related to continuing education violations. Specifically, beginning January 1, 2027, licensed healthcare professionals can apply to have a disciplinary record set aside if the record involves a failure to complete required continuing education and the professional can demonstrate they have since successfully completed the missed educational requirements. If approved, the department will remove the disciplinary record from its public licensing website, and the professional can represent that no such disciplinary record exists. The bill also makes minor technical changes to existing law, such as updating language about departmental record-keeping, clarifying voting procedures for disciplinary subcommittees, and modifying confidentiality provisions. The changes aim to provide a pathway for healthcare professionals to clear their records for specific types of minor infractions, potentially helping them maintain their professional standing while ensuring they meet necessary educational requirements. The bill applies to various healthcare licensees and registrants regulated under Michigan's Public Health Code.
