Bill > SB2115

This bill amends the Occupations Code to require a licensing entity that receives a complaint against a health care practitioner who holds a license issued by a different licensing entity to promptly forward a copy of the complaint to that other licensing entity. The bill also prohibits a licensing entity from taking disciplinary action based on such a complaint, unless the licensing entity that issued the license refers the complaint back to the receiving licensing entity for investigation and resolution, or the disciplinary action is taken for practicing medicine without a license. The changes made by this bill apply only to complaints filed on or after the effective date of the Act.
