The bill establishes a new section in Iowa law that prohibits certain provisions in agreements between health care providers and their employers regarding the location of practice. Specifically, if a health care provider leaves their employment for any reason, any agreement that restricts their ability to practice at federally designated critical access hospitals or medical facilities in rural areas will be deemed void and unenforceable. This aims to enhance the mobility of health care providers and ensure that they can continue to serve in areas where they are needed most.

However, the bill clarifies that it does not affect provisions that limit a health care provider's ability to solicit current or former patients. This distinction allows employers to maintain some level of control over patient relationships while ensuring that health care providers are not unduly restricted in their practice locations after leaving employment.
