An Act relative to due process

This bill amends Massachusetts law to require a fresh, complete review of certain disciplinary decisions made by the state licensing commission. Specifically, it applies to cases where the commission suspends a professional license for more than two weeks or revokes the license entirely. Under the new rule, these individuals would be entitled to a de novo review during the appeal process, meaning the case would be heard anew rather than just having the original decision examined. The change directly affects professionals whose licenses are suspended or decertified by the commission and ensures they receive a full reconsideration of the facts and law in such serious cases.
