MI HB5473

Requires unanimous authorization from the full health licensing board or task force to investigate alleged violations, replacing the previous system where only a 3-member panel including the chair was needed

Allows licensees under investigation to request that a medical professional of the same health profession attend their compliance conference

Eliminates the panel-based authorization structure for investigations, shifting decision-making authority to the entire board or task force

Maintains existing timelines including 7-day authorization window, 90-day investigation action deadline, and 30-day response period for complaints

Updates conflict of interest provisions to apply to all board members participating in authorization decisions rather than just panel members
