The bill amends K.S.A. 17-2710 to clarify the organization of professional corporations, allowing them to render professional services under multiple types specified in K.S.A. 17-2707, while also detailing the purposes for which these corporations can operate. It removes specific items from the list of professional services that a corporation may engage in, broadening the scope of allowable services. Additionally, it modifies the language regarding the powers of professional corporations, ensuring they can engage in activities necessary for their practice.

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. It outlines the application process, requirements for certification, and conditions under which a 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 includes various definitions relevant to the practice of healing arts. The provisions of this act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
