The bill SB1333 mandates that health professional regulatory boards report any revocations of licenses or certifications to the Department of Health Services (DHS) for inclusion in a state database. This database must be created by July 1, 2024, and will include the names of health professionals who have had their licenses revoked in the past five years, the date of revocation, and the regulatory board responsible for the action. Additionally, the bill requires that all license and certification revocations occurring between July 1, 2019, and July 1, 2024, be reported.

Furthermore, the bill delays the requirement for applicants seeking initial licensure as nursing care institution administrators or certification as assisted living facility managers to submit fingerprints for a criminal background check from January 1, 2023, to on or before July 1, 2024. This change aims to provide more time for compliance with the fingerprinting requirement while enhancing the reporting and tracking of health professional license revocations.
