This bill amends the Medical Practice Act of 1985 to introduce a new section regarding the disclosure of complaints filed against physicians. Specifically, it establishes that a physician is not required to disclose a complaint to any person or entity if the board determines that no disciplinary or corrective action is necessary and the complaint file is closed without any such action.

The new legal language inserted into the act includes the creation of Section 44.1, which outlines the conditions under which complaints can remain undisclosed. This amendment aims to protect physicians from the potential negative consequences of unsubstantiated complaints while ensuring that only valid complaints that warrant action are disclosed. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
