S.M. 2017, c. 12

Bill 13, 2 nd Session, 41st Legislature

The Regulated Health Professions Amendment Act

Explanatory Note

This note is a reader's aid and is not part of the law.

This Act amends The Regulated Health Professions Act. The minister may exempt a health profession from the statutory prohibition on the online publication of certain health information about disciplined members.

A college of a regulated health profession is not allowed to publish certain health information on the Internet about members who have voluntarily accepted disciplinary measures, but information about the measures may now be made available online.

A college may incorporate its own standards of practice document into the college's regulations.
