LICENSURE OF NURSING HOME ADMINISTRATORS
House Bill 4776
Sponsor: Rep. Steve Vear
Committee: Senior Health, Security and Retirement
Complete to 5-18-01
A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4776 AS INTRODUCED 5-15-01
The bill would repeal the provisions of the Occupational Code (MCL 339.1901 to 339.1910) and of the State License Fee Act (MCL 338.2247) pertaining to the licensure of nursing home administrators, and place equivalent provisions into the Public Health Code.
The bill specifies that a person who held a license as a nursing home administrator issued under the Occupational Code on the effective date of the bill would be considered to hold a valid license until the expiration of that license, at which time the person could renew the license under the provisions of the Public Health Code. Further, members of the nursing home administrators' board created under the Occupational Code would serve as the initial members of the board created under the Public Health Code until their successors were appointed or until the expiration of their terms, whichever occurred first. Rules promulgated by the board, the Department of Consumer and Industry Services, or the department director under the Occupational Code would continue in effect to the extent that they did not conflict with the bill's provisions. The bill specifies that such rules could be amended or rescinded by the director.
