AI Summary
This bill amends existing Oregon law to regulate management services organizations (MSOs) and their interactions with professional medical entities, focusing primarily on preventing MSOs from exerting undue control over medical practices. The bill defines key terms like "management services" and "professional medical entity" and establishes strict limitations on what MSOs can and cannot do, such as prohibiting them from owning a majority of shares in a medical practice, voting shares on behalf of others, controlling clinical decision-making, or exercising de facto control over medical operations. The bill also places significant restrictions on noncompetition agreements for medical professionals, limiting their duration and enforceability, and invalidates certain nondisclosure and nondisparagement agreements between medical licensees and MSOs or hospitals. Additionally, the bill includes provisions that phase in these regulations, with some provisions applying immediately and others taking effect on January 1, 2026, or January 1, 2029, depending on the type of medical entity. The bill is declared an emergency measure, meaning it takes effect immediately upon passage, with the stated purpose of preserving public peace, health, and safety.
