PresentationDiscussion

0:18 → 11:47(11m 30s)

Representative Peet introduced House Bill 2686 as a patient-protection measure requiring allopathic or osteopathic surgeons who perform procedures at outpatient surgical centers to file and update with the facility a call-coverage plan identifying who will cover hospital care if the surgeon lacks hospital privileges. Representative Peet said failure to file is classified as unprofessional conduct enforceable by complaint to the board; the committee voted a due-pass recommendation (6–0, 1 not voting).
