The bill amends section 766.101 of the Florida Statutes to revise the definition of "medical review committee." It expands the types of committees that fall under this definition to include those associated with the Department of Children and Families or a managing entity, as well as clarifying the roles of various health care provider organizations. The bill also specifies that the investigations and records of these committees are not subject to discovery or introduction into evidence in civil or administrative actions against health care providers or managing entities, thereby enhancing the confidentiality and protection of the proceedings.

Additionally, the bill states that advisory reports from medical review committees are to be used as background information only by the department and are exempt from certain public disclosure laws. It emphasizes that no one who serves on a medical review committee can be compelled to testify about the committee's proceedings in disciplinary actions against licensees. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
