Purpose of the Bill : The bill permits doctors working outside the state to be granted licenses provided that the out-of-state health care facilities provide service letters. The bill also provides immunity for health care facilities and licensees reporting misconduct within 30 days of the occurrence.
Committee Findings: The committee found that it may be difficult to get facilities outside of the state to comply with providing a service letter but that the intent and effort of the state to ask for the service letter is a suffice step in the checks and balances within the system.
