MODERATE
The bill was revised to remove requirements for health care practitioners to complete a mandatory continuing education course on congenital cytomegalovirus. The original version required doctors and nurses to take this training for their initial license and every renewal, but the committee substitute deletes these provisions entirely, leaving only the requirement for hospitals to distribute educational materials to parents.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed significantly. It no longer applies to the licensing of health care practitioners regarding continuing education requirements, though it still mandates that hospitals provide educational materials to expectant parents.
REQUIREMENT
Deleted the mandate requiring health care practitioners to complete a one-hour board-approved course on congenital cytomegalovirus as part of their initial licensure and renewal.
Removed the requirement for practitioners to submit proof of course completion when renewing their licenses.
ENFORCEMENT
Eliminated the specific disciplinary actions and rule-making authority related to practitioners failing to complete the educational course.
TIMELINE
Removed the specific start date of July 1, 2026, which was tied to the beginning of the mandatory training requirement for practitioners.
SCOPE
Condensed the bill text by removing the detailed sections regarding practitioner training, leaving only the section on distributing materials to parents.
