AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
When a patient raises a concern about a health care provider's potential misconduct, this bill requires that provider or their employee to immediately give the patient written information explaining how to file a complaint with the Division of Professional Licensing — the state agency that oversees licensed health care professionals. The bill also places a new condition on nondisclosure agreements (contracts that prevent patients from speaking publicly about their care): for such an agreement to be legally valid, the provider must first give the patient a standardized notice — created and published online by the Division of Professional Licensing — that explains what counts as unprofessional or unlawful conduct and how to report it.
