Bill > HB4929

This bill amends Michigan's Public Health Code to establish a formal procedure for healthcare professionals to voluntarily surrender their professional licenses or registrations. Under the new provisions, a licensee can surrender their license by delivering their certificate of licensure to the department director along with a written notice on a prescribed form. The surrender becomes effective on the date the department receives the form. Importantly, the bill clarifies that surrendering a license does not protect the individual from potential civil or criminal liability for actions committed prior to the surrender. The bill also modifies existing language about license renewals, removing gender-specific pronouns and making technical corrections to the renewal and relicensing process. These changes provide a clear, standardized process for professionals who wish to voluntarily give up their professional license, while maintaining the department's ability to investigate or take action for past misconduct, even after the license has been surrendered.
