Creates provisions relating to the participation of complainant patients or their representatives in the discipline proceedings for certain health care professionals

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Missouri law to grant complainant patients or their representatives the right to attend hearings and appeals related to the disciplinary proceedings of specific healthcare professionals, ensuring they can present a victim impact statement, either orally or in writing, to the licensee and the relevant boards or commissions. The bill also clarifies that while the complainant's attorney can attend, they cannot actively participate in the proceedings, and it modifies provisions regarding the confidentiality of certain information to allow its disclosure to the complainant patient, their representative, or their attorney during these hearings.
