Plain-language change summary

The amendment to HB 7091 removes the provision that allows a diagnosis of a mental illness or behavioral or emotional disorder to be a basis for filing a petition regarding a healthcare professional's ability to practice safely. This change means that such diagnoses will not be considered when assessing a professional's competence, potentially affecting how mental health issues are treated in licensing and regulatory contexts.
