SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Requires the chief executive, chief of staff, or administrator of a hospital, other health care institution, or assisted living facility who becomes aware of information indicating that a health care professional is in need of treatment or has been committed or admitted as a patient for the treatment of substance abuse or psychiatric illness to determine that the health care professional is a danger to himself, his patients, or others before reporting such information to the Department of Health Professionals.
