This bill would prohibit the boards from taking disciplinary action against, or otherwise penalizing, healing arts licensees who violate those provisions but correct the violations within 15 days, days and who are not currently on probation at the time of the violations, if the violations did not
cause irreparable harm and will not result in irreparable harm if left uncorrected for 15 days.
