Summary

The bill amends Massachusetts law to make any contract term that prevents a physician from giving testimony in administrative or judicial hearings, including malpractice cases, illegal. It also forbids clauses that stop doctors from informing patients about other sites where they practice now or will practice in the future. Violations are treated as unfair competition under consumer protection law.
