Bill > HB0316

This bill, effective May 6, 2026, aims to regulate "nondisclosure clauses," which are contractual agreements that prevent a patient from reporting the conduct of a licensed healthcare provider to the division. For such clauses to be valid and enforceable after June 1, 2025, the licensed individual must first provide the patient or their representative with a specific notice before the contract is signed. This notice, which the division is tasked with creating, will detail a patient's right to report unprofessional or unlawful conduct, explain what constitutes such conduct, outline the complaint process, and reference a relevant section of law. The division will also publish this model notice online for easy access and may create additional rules to implement these provisions.
