Bill > HB4930

This bill amends the Michigan Public Health Code to update requirements for professional licensing applications, focusing on several key changes. The bill modifies language to require applicants to provide their full legal name and Social Security number when applying for professional licensing or registration in health-related fields. While Social Security numbers will still be collected, they will not be displayed on licensure certificates. The bill also clarifies existing requirements for applicants to disclose felony convictions, certain misdemeanors, and professional sanctions from other jurisdictions. For physicians, dentists, and podiatrists, the bill maintains the requirement to report hospital employment and practice affiliations. Additionally, the bill requires licensees to have a written policy for protecting and managing medical records in case they sell, close, or cease their practice. The language updates also include gender-neutral terminology, replacing gendered pronouns like "he or she" with more inclusive phrasing. Importantly, the bill preserves existing exemptions for individuals who are legally exempt from providing a Social Security number or have religious objections to disclosure.
