     SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

                    STATEMENT TO

                   SENATE, No. 845

 STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                    DATED: JANUARY 27, 2020

   The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No.
845.
   This bill requires health care professional licensing boards to
utilize the National Practitioner Data Bank.
   The National Practitioner Data Bank is a web-based repository of
reports containing information on medical malpractice payments
and certain adverse actions related to health care professionals. The
data bank is maintained by the United States Department of Health
and Human Services to prevent health care professionals from
moving from state to state without discovery of prior bad acts.
   The bill requires professional and occupational licensing boards
within the Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law
and Public Safety that regulate the practice of a health care
professional to:
   (1) not issue an initial license or other authorization to practice a
health care profession to any applicant unless the board first
determines that no information exists on file in the National
Practitioner Data Bank which may disqualify the applicant; and
   (2) utilize the continuous query function of the National
Practitioner Data Bank for each person issued a license or
authorization to practice a health care profession.
   The bill provides that boards may not issue or renew or, if
renewed, must revoke or suspend a license or other authorization to
practice a health care profession that is regulated by that board if
the board determines through use of the National Practitioner Data
Bank that there is cause to refuse to issue or suspend or revoke any
license or authorization of a health care professional.
    This bill was pre-filed for introduction in the 2020-2021 session
pending technical review. As reported, the bill includes the changes
required by technical review, which has been performed.
