Healthcare Competition Reforms

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill would provide protections for healthcare workers, preventing hospitals from retaliating against them for reporting violations or discussing patient care. It would also prohibit non-compete clauses in employment contracts for healthcare professionals and require nondisclosure agreements to allow reporting of safety concerns. Additionally, the bill would limit the compensation of chief executive officers at non-profit hospitals that receive state funds, capping it at 400 times the minimum compensation paid to other employees. Finally, it would exempt the Department of State Treasurer from certain healthcare facility review processes.
