SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Confidentiality of certain information obtained by health regulatory boards in disciplinary proceedings. Provides that in disciplinary actions involving allegations that a practitioner is or may be unable to practice with reasonable skill and safety to patients and the public because of a mental or physical disability, a health regulatory board shall consider whether to disclose and may decide not to disclose in its notice or order the practitioner's health records or his health services, although such information may be considered by the board in a closed hearing and included in a confidential exhibit to a notice or order. The bill provides that the public notice or order shall identify, if known, the practitioner's mental or physical disability that is the basis of its determination.
