HB 531 was introduced by the Committee on Health and Aging that would authorize the State Medical Board of Ohio to impose a fine of not more than $20,000 when a professional regulated by the Board violates the law governing professional practice.
Additional provisions of HB 531 include:
– A repeal of provisions that automatically suspend a certificate to practice for failure to renew or register the certificate, including failure to fulfill mandatory continuing education hours, and instead permits the Board to suspend the certificate.
– Authorizes the Board to require that a practitioner’s skills be assessed before
restoring or issuing certain certificates to practice.
– Authorizes the Board to require that certain applicants pass an examination or
obtain additional training before issuing a certificate to practice a limited branch of
medicine.
– Provides that an adjudication hearing under the Administrative Procedure Act is not
required if the Board imposes a fine for failure to complete continuing education
hours but does not impose any other penalty.
