Bill overview
This bill protects health professionals from retaliation by health profession regulatory boards. It prohibits boards from taking actions against individuals who report wrongdoing, participate in investigations, refuse to engage in unlawful conduct, seek legal counsel, or assist others in reporting issues. The bill establishes procedures for investigating complaints, provides remedies for those harmed by retaliation, including reinstatement of licenses and financial compensation, and mandates confidentiality for reporting individuals. It also grants the Attorney General and County Attorneys authority to investigate and enforce these protections.
