Health: licensing; procedure for voluntary relinquishment of license; provide for. Amends sec. 16201 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16201) & adds sec. 16202.

This bill allows healthcare professionals in Michigan to voluntarily give up their professional licenses by submitting a specific form and returning their license certificate to the state department. The process includes a waiting period of eight years before the individual can apply for a new license in the same field, and no fees are refunded if the license is surrendered before its expiration date. However, the department can deny a surrender request if it appears the person is trying to avoid disciplinary action or if there are pending allegations against them. The law also clarifies that giving up a license does not protect the professional from legal liability for actions taken while the license was still active.
