Health: licensing; procedure for voluntary relinquishment of license; provide for. Amends sec. 16201 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16201) & adds sec. 16202.
HB 4929 amends Michigan's health licensing law to create a new, streamlined process for health professionals (like doctors, nurses, or therapists) to voluntarily surrender their licenses. It adds a specific section (MCL 333.16202) outlining the procedure for license relinquishment, replacing the previous, less defined process. This change directly affects licensed health workers seeking to exit practice without administrative hurdles, ensuring a clear, formal pathway for voluntary license surrender.
