Summary

The bill forces licensed health‑care professionals who see patients to wear a visible badge that includes their name, license and degree initials. It also obligates any advertisement that names a provider to state the provider’s exact credential. The goal is to stop patients from mistaking non‑physician staff for doctors and to boost trust in the health‑care system.
