Summary
The bill voids any contract that restricts a physician’s right to practice medicine in a geographic area after leaving a partnership or employment, unless the restriction falls within narrow carve‑outs. It aims to increase physician mobility and access to care while preserving certain group‑size, FQHC, and incentive‑based restrictions.
