This bill amends the Public Health Code 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 prerequisite for licensure, registration, or the renewal of these credentials. This change aims to eliminate any mandatory training related to implicit bias for professionals seeking to obtain or renew their licenses.

Additionally, the bill rescinds R 338.7004 of the Michigan Administrative Code, effectively removing any existing regulations that may have mandated implicit bias training. This legislative action reflects a shift in policy regarding the requirements for licensure in the state of Michigan, focusing on reducing regulatory burdens on professionals in the public health sector.
