An Act providing for continuing education in Lyme disease and related tick-borne diseases for health care professionals.

SB 329 requires Pennsylvania healthcare professionals (including physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners) to complete at least two hours of continuing education on Lyme disease and related tick-borne illnesses as part of their license renewal. The law mandates that this education cover current research, symptom recognition, diagnostic options, treatment approaches, and prevention strategies, based on evidence from major health organizations. Licensing boards must establish the content within 18 months and seek input from experts, including university researchers. The bill directly affects all licensed healthcare providers in Pennsylvania who must renew their credentials.
