AI Summary
This bill requires the Board of Regents to create a policy that prevents the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) from putting "noncompete clauses" in contracts with physicians. A noncompete clause is defined as any rule that stops a physician from practicing in a certain area or for a specific amount of time after their contract with UIHC ends. A "physician" is defined as someone with a license to practice medicine. This new rule will apply to any physician contracts with UIHC that are signed, extended, or renewed starting from when the bill becomes law, which will be immediately upon its enactment.
