SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Health regulatory board investigations. Requires the executive officer and the chief of staff of every hospital or other health care institution to report to the Board of Medicine within 30 days the knowledge of any health impairment that may render a health professional a danger to himself, the public or his patients; any unethical, fraudulent or unprofessional conduct; any disciplinary action taken by the hospital or other health care institution; and any voluntary resignation from the staff. The hospitals and other health care institutions must make such reports within 30 days, except that reports concerning the commitment or admission of a health professional as a patient shall continue to be made within 5 days of when the chief administrative officer learns of the commitment or admission. Any person who fails to make a required report will be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $25,000, as assessed by the Director of the Department of Health Professions, and to denial of licensure or certification unless the penalty has been paid.
