Introduced by: Stephen C. Shannon | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation; complaint information; time for filing complaints. Authorizes the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation to consider information from public sources as the basis for written complaints against a regulant. The bill also extends the period of time that a complaint may be filed against a regulant where the regulant has misrepresented, concealed or omitted any information material to the establishment of a violation to two years from the date of discovery of the misrepresentation, concealment or omission. Under current law, the period of time is extended only when the regulant materially misrepresents any information required by statute or regulation to be disclosed. The bill further provides that in cases where criminal charges involving matters that would also constitute a violation of the regulations or laws of the regulant's profession or occupation enforced by the Department are brought against the regulant, an investigation may be initiated by the Department within two years of the date that the criminal charges are brought.
