The bill amends K.S.A. 17-2710 to clarify the organization and purpose of professional corporations in Kansas, allowing them to render professional services under multiple types as specified in K.S.A. 17-2707. It removes specific item references from the previous law, broadening the scope of services that a single professional corporation can provide. Additionally, it outlines the purposes for which these corporations can operate, including acquiring property, managing investments, and establishing 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, enabling them to employ licensed professionals for providing healthcare services. It specifies the application process, requirements for certification, and conditions under which the certificate can 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.
