This bill amends the Public Health Code of Michigan by adding a new section, 16149, which prohibits the Department or any board from implementing or enforcing rules that require implicit bias training as a condition for obtaining or renewing a professional license or registration. This change aims to eliminate the requirement for implicit bias training in the licensing process for health professionals.
Additionally, the bill rescinds R 338.7004 of the Michigan Administrative Code, which likely contained provisions related to implicit bias training. By removing this regulation, the bill seeks to streamline the licensing process and reduce the burden on professionals in the health sector.
