The proposed bill enacts a new section of the Uniform Licensing Act that prohibits non-physician health care providers with a doctoral degree from using the title "doctor" in any form of advertising or communication within a clinical setting unless they specify their profession. The bill mandates that these providers can only use titles and abbreviations authorized by their respective professional licensing statutes. If they hold a doctoral degree, they may use the letter "D" before the authorized abbreviations, but they must clearly identify their specific profession when using the term "doctor" in any advertisements or during interactions with patients.

Additionally, the bill establishes that violations of this provision can lead to professional disciplinary actions, including the denial, suspension, or revocation of the provider's license. It also requires each relevant board or department to adopt rules to implement these new regulations effectively. This legislation aims to ensure clarity and transparency in the titles used by health care providers, thereby protecting patients from potential confusion regarding the qualifications of their health care professionals.
