Reorganization of the Department of Energy, Labor, and Economic Growth will Impact Health Care Providers
Posted by:

Through Executive Order 2011-4 ("Order"), Governor Snyder has ordered that the Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth be reorganized and renamed the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, effective as of April 24, 2011.  Especially important to those in the health care industry is the fact that the Bureau of Health Professions, the Bureau of Health Systems and the Controlled Substances Advisory Commission will be transferred from the Department of Community Health ("MDCH") to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.  The Governor announced that the transfer will allow MDCH to concentrate on the actual health care delivery aspects of its duties while allowing Licensing and Regulatory Affairs to oversee the licensing and professional regulatory aspects of these functions. 

Through the Order, the Governor also created the Michigan Administrative Hearing System as an independent agency within the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. This will centralize the state's administrative hearing functions.

If you have any questions on how the order will impact you, please contact Jennifer Kildea Dewane at 517-371-8211.
