The bill amends section 766.101 of the Florida Statutes, which pertains to medical review committees and their immunity from liability. It revises the definition of "medical review committee" to include additional entities, specifically a managing entity as defined in s. 394.9082(2), and clarifies that these committees may include employees or agents of the Department of Children and Families or the managing entity. The bill also modifies the language regarding the confidentiality and immunity of the proceedings and records of these committees, ensuring that they are not subject to discovery or introduction into evidence in civil or administrative actions against health service providers or managing entities.

Furthermore, the bill emphasizes that advisory reports from medical review committees are to be used as background information only by the department and are confidential, exempt from public records laws. It ensures that individuals serving on these committees cannot be compelled to testify about the proceedings or findings of the committee in disciplinary actions against licensees. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026.
