HB 4930 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Health: licensing; name requirements for licensure; provide for. Amends sec. 16177 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16177).

HB 4930 amends Michigan's health licensing law to require all licensed health professionals (such as doctors, nurses, and therapists) to use their full legal names on official licensure records and practice documents. The bill changes existing rules (MCL 333.16177) to mandate that licensees provide and maintain their complete legal names with the licensing board. This policy change directly affects current and future health professionals seeking or renewing their licenses in Michigan. The law takes immediate effect upon passage, ensuring consistent name identification for patient safety and regulatory clarity.
