Summary

Representative Saint Germain told the House Rules Committee HB 4926 would allow licensed health professionals to apply to remove minor continuing‑education violations if they have completed the required credits.

Representative Saint Germain told the committee HB 4926 is intended to reduce unnecessary red tape for licensed health professionals by allowing individuals to apply to remove minor continuing‑education violations provided they completed the required credits.

"This legislation will enable individuals to submit an application for the removal of these minor continuing education violations provided that they completed the the, CTE credits," Saint Germain said, describing a recent personal experience in which a family medical emergency left the member unable to meet an on‑time reporting deadline.

Committee members said they support reducing administrative burdens but also raised concerns about ensuring that health care providers remain current. Representative Whitworth asked whether the bill would set a limit on how many set‑asides a licensee could receive; the sponsor said they are in active communication with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) and are willing to work on that detail.

The transcript records committee members’ support for cutting red tape and notes the sponsor’s engagement with LARA on rule and implementation details. No committee vote on HB 4926 is recorded in the hearing transcript.
