Health: licensing; procedure for vacating disciplinary records of certain licensees or registrants; provide for. Amends secs. 16211, 16216 & 16238 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16211 et seq.) & adds sec. 16211a.
HB 4926 amends Michigan's health licensing law to create a new process for certain licensed health professionals to have disciplinary records vacated. It adds Section 16211a to the licensing code, establishing specific criteria and procedures for licensees who had past disciplinary actions to petition to clear those records after meeting defined conditions. This directly affects licensed nurses, pharmacists, and other health registrants who faced disciplinary actions but have since demonstrated rehabilitation and compliance. The bill provides a structured, statutory pathway for these individuals to seek record clearance, moving beyond previous administrative discretion.
