MINOR
This bill updates the reporting requirements for medical professionals convicted of crimes. It shifts the responsibility for reporting from the district attorney to the sentencing court and clarifies that the report must include both the conviction and the specific sentence imposed. Additionally, it removes a requirement for the health department to update online profiles within 48 hours of receiving a notification of conviction, relying instead on the updated 30-day timeline for general profile updates.
Scope change
The bill modifies the scope of the reporting obligation by changing the entity responsible for reporting (from prosecutor to court) and narrowing the specific trigger for immediate online profile updates.
REQUIREMENT
Changed the entity responsible for reporting convictions from the district attorney to the court that sentenced the individual.
Updated the reporting content to explicitly require notification of both the conviction and the specific sentence imposed.
TIMELINE
Deleted the specific mandate requiring the health department to update online physician profiles within 48 hours of receiving a conviction notification.
