This bill mandates that patients of State-licensed physicians must be notified, either electronically or by mail, by the practice or health care entity if the physician's license to practice medicine is suspended or revoked, whether temporarily or permanently. The notification must occur within ten business days of the suspension or revocation. This requirement aims to enhance patient awareness regarding the status of their physician's credentials, particularly in cases of misconduct.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a patient requests it, the practice or health care entity must provide contact information for the Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law and Public Safety, as well as the State Board of Medical Examiners. This provision is designed to facilitate patients' ability to report any concerns or allegations of misconduct against their physician to the appropriate state authorities. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
