An Act amending the act of October 5, 1978 (P.L.1109, No.261), known as the Osteopathic Medical Practice Act, providing for disclosure of complaints filed against physicians.
SB 420 amends Pennsylvania's Osteopathic Medical Practice Act to limit when complaints against osteopathic physicians must be disclosed to the public. It prevents physicians from having to share complaint details with patients or others if the state board determines no disciplinary action is needed and the complaint is closed without any penalty. This applies specifically to osteopathic physicians licensed under the Act in Pennsylvania, affecting how complaint records are handled. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
