The bill amends K.S.A. 17-2710 to clarify that a professional corporation can be organized to render professional services under multiple types specified in K.S.A. 17-2707, with certain deletions of specific items from the previous law. It allows for a single professional corporation to provide services across various professional types while maintaining the requirement that the corporation only engages in the rendering of professional services and ancillary activities. Additionally, the bill outlines the purposes of such corporations, including the ability to acquire property, manage investments, and establish incentive plans for employees.

Furthermore, the bill amends K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 65-28,134 to establish a framework for business entities to obtain a certificate of authorization from the state board of healing arts, allowing them to employ licensed professionals for providing healthcare services. It specifies the application process, requirements for certification, and conditions under which the certificate may be revoked or suspended. The bill also emphasizes that business entities must not interfere with the professional judgment of their employed licensees and outlines the responsibilities of both the business entity and the licensed professionals. The provisions of this act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
