SB 1111 Summary: Consumer Health Protection Enforcement Act

• Requires healing arts boards to disclose licensee information on the Internet, including license status, discipline, and enforcement actions, with the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners included in these requirements.

• Authorizes healing arts boards to recover investigation and prosecution costs from licensees, contract with collection agencies, and require cost payment within 30 days unless a payment plan is agreed upon.

• Expands licensee reporting requirements to include arrests, criminal charges, and disciplinary actions by other boards or federal agencies, and requires licensees to identify themselves to law enforcement when arrested or charged.

• Establishes provisions for automatic license suspension of sex offenders, immediate cease-practice orders for imminent public safety risks, and prohibition of settlement clauses that restrict patients from filing board complaints.

• Creates the Emergency Health Care Enforcement Reserve Fund to consolidate surplus funds from healing arts boards for enforcement purposes and authorizes boards to lower fees when reserves exceed statutory limits.
