AN ACT relating to health care.

Summary

The bill lets a hearing or inquiry panel order a physician to undergo a physical or mental exam if there is probable cause they may be unable to practice safely. If the doctor refuses without a valid reason, the refusal is considered an admission of disability and can lead to a default order without further evidence. Physicians whose licenses are suspended or limited under this provision can later request to show they are fit to practice again.
