The bill amends the Public Health Code by adding a new section, 16149, which prohibits the Michigan Department or any board from implementing or enforcing rules that require implicit bias training as a prerequisite for obtaining or renewing a professional license or registration. This change aims to eliminate any mandatory training related to implicit bias for licensed professionals in the state.

Additionally, the bill rescinds a specific rule, R 338.7004, from the Michigan Administrative Code, further solidifying the stance against mandatory implicit bias training in the licensing process. This legislative action reflects a significant shift in the requirements for licensure in Michigan, focusing on reducing regulatory burdens on professionals.
