Requires certain health care providers to disclose certain facts in regard to probation to current and new patients

S 3186 requires licensed healthcare providers (like doctors, nurses, dentists, and therapists) who are on probation to disclose specific details about their probation to patients before their first appointment. Providers must provide written information including the reason for probation (e.g., gross negligence, felony conviction, or practice restrictions), probation duration, and how to find more details online. Patients can cancel their appointment without cost if they choose, and providers face fines or license suspension for failing to disclose this information. The law applies to all probationary orders issued on or after January 1, 2026, affecting providers in 15 licensed healthcare professions.
