AI Summary
This bill allows licensed healthcare providers, such as doctors (allopathic, osteopathic, and naturopathic), nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, to prescribe, recommend, or suggest alternative treatments, including holistic or natural medicine, if they believe it will help a patient's pain or ailment, and protects them from losing their medical license for doing so. It also grants parents or legal guardians the right to choose alternative treatments for their child, even if they differ from a healthcare provider's recommendation, and shields them from legal repercussions like child neglect charges. This new law will take effect on November 1, 2026.
