Bill > HB4930

This bill amends the Michigan Public Health Code to update requirements for professional licensing applications, primarily focusing on name and identification requirements. The bill modifies existing language to require applicants to provide their full legal name and Social Security number when applying for licensure or registration in health professions, while ensuring that the Social Security number will not be displayed on their license or registration certificate. The bill clarifies that applicants may be required to take examinations to demonstrate their qualifications, with the examination covering subjects essential to safe and competent professional practice. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions that require applicants to disclose felony convictions, certain misdemeanor convictions, and professional sanctions from other jurisdictions. For certain medical professionals like physicians and dentists, the bill requires reporting the names of hospitals where they are employed or practice. The bill also requires applicants to provide an affidavit detailing their written policy for protecting and maintaining medical records in case of practice closure or retirement. Importantly, the bill provides exemptions for individuals who are legally exempt from providing a Social Security number, particularly for religious reasons. The amendments will take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted into law.
