What’s in it
AI summary If a state agency wants to add new rules that limit how a healthcare professional can work, they cannot do so on their own. These new requirements must first be approved by both the board of health and the specific licensing board for that profession. This ensures that the professional boards have the final say over any extra restrictions placed on their workers.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that a practice requirement proposed by a state agency other than the health profession board for a specific health profession that restricts the practice of a health professional to a greater extent than the requirements imposed by the applicable health profession board, shall not be imposed prior to approval of the practice requirement by the board of health and the applicable licensing board.5. “State agency” does not mean the office of the governor or the office of an elective constitutional or statutory officer; the general assembly, or any office or unit under its administrative authority; the judicial branch; or a political subdivision of the state or its offices or units, including but not limited to a county, city, or community college.
