Bill > HB5039

This bill amends the Michigan Public Health Code to add two new grounds for disciplinary action against health professionals. Specifically, it adds two new provisions to section 16221 that would allow disciplinary action for (1) conviction of a violation of section 219g of the Michigan penal code, which likely relates to making a false representation in assisted reproduction, and (2) a final order or judgment under section 2980 of the revised judicature act, which appears to be related to reproductive technology or assisted reproduction. The bill also updates the corresponding section 16226 to specify potential sanctions for these new violations, which could include probation, limitation, denial, suspension, revocation, permanent revocation, restitution, or fines. The bill is tied to two other house bills (HB 5036 and HB 5035) and will only take effect if those companion bills are also enacted into law. The changes appear to be aimed at providing additional legal mechanisms to discipline health professionals who engage in misconduct specifically related to reproductive medical practices.
