Professional License Verification and Reporting to Ohio Licensing Boards
Requires the Agency to verify every professional license and certification on the issuing board’s official system before a person starts, at each renewal and when concerns arise; to remove anyone whose license lapses; and to report a nurse to the Ohio Board of Nursing when the Agency knows or has reason to believe the nurse engaged in conduct that would be grounds for discipline.
