HB 5623 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT ESTABLISHING A VOLUNTEER MEDICAL LICENSE FOR RETIRED PHYSICIANS SEEKING TO PROVIDE PRO BONO MEDICAL SERVICES TO INDIGENT AND NEEDY PATIENTS.

HB 5623 establishes a fee-free volunteer medical license for retired physicians who want to provide free medical care to indigent or needy patients. The bill allows retired doctors to practice without paying standard licensing fees when serving at clinics organized to deliver free healthcare services. It directly affects retired physicians seeking to volunteer and indigent patients who rely on low-cost or no-cost care. The key provision removes financial barriers for retired doctors to contribute their skills in community health clinics serving vulnerable populations.
