What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill prevents health care entities and credentialing boards from discriminating or retaliating against health care providers for ordering innovative therapies or novel therapies if certain conditions are met, including: 1) the health care provider orders the therapy based on his or her assessment of the patient and any available clinical data supporting the therapy; 2) the patient requests the innovative therapy or novel therapy; and 3) the ordered therapy, if the therapy is a drug, device, or biological product, is either approved or authorized for emergency use by the federal Food and Drug Administration. Further, this bill prevents any health care entity or credentialing board from restricting any health care provider from informing a patient of any innovative or novel therapy that may potentially benefit the patient. The protections provided under the bill do not apply to a health care provider who orders any drug, device, or biological product that is intended to delay or suppress pubertal development in a minor for the purpose of assisting the minor with a gender transition.
