What’s in it

This bill prohibits a professional licensing board under Code chapter 147 (general provisions, health-related professions) from imposing discipline on a licensee for failure to follow or implement guidelines, recommendations, or regulations of the United States food and drug administration, centers for disease control and prevention, or national institutes of health, unless such failure also constitutes a violation of a law of this state. The bill allows a person subject to a fine by the United States food and drug administration for conduct that is not a violation of state law after the effective date of the bill to petition the board for repayment of that fine. The bill requires each relevant board to adopt rules to implement the bill.
