The bill amends the Public Health Code by adding a new section, 16183, which establishes a framework for granting emeritus licenses to individuals who have retired from practicing a health profession. To qualify for an emeritus license, applicants must submit a specific application form to the department, demonstrate that they were previously licensed and in good standing, and acknowledge that they will not engage in the practice of their health profession.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that individuals granted an emeritus license must not use any professional title associated with their previous license without including the term "emeritus." This provision aims to clarify the status of retired professionals and ensure that the emeritus designation is clearly communicated in any written or printed materials.
