Abstract

Amends the definitions of "practitioner", for purposes of the health professions and professional standards of practice laws, to include individuals who held a license, certificate, registration, or permit when the alleged violation of the standard of practice occurred. Specifies that an individual who: (1) held a license and the license's current status is inactive, surrendered, expired, revoked, or suspended; and (2) engages in conduct in Indiana that requires a license; is subject to the same penalties as an individual who practiced without a license in violation of the law. Provides that if an individual has a conviction or judgment for practicing without a license in violation of the law, in addition to any other penalty, the court shall impose a fine equal to the amount of any fee or other compensation earned in the commission of the offense. Makes conforming changes.
