SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION:
Defaults on certain educational loans; health care professional and occupational license suspension.

Thirty days' notice must be given prior to filing the petition. The circuit court in the jurisdiction in which the obligor resides will order the suspension of the license under certain circumstances and provide a copy of the order to the relevant board within the Department of Health Professions. The court may order reinstatement of the license upon compliance with payment terms by the obligor.

Thirty days' notice must be given prior to filing the petition. The relevant health regulatory board will order the suspension of the license, certificate, registration or other authorization to engage in the practice of a health profession, when appropriate.
