AN ACT REQUIRING TITLE PROTECTION FOR PHYSICIANS.

SB 468 prohibits anyone from using the title "physician" or related initials (like "MD") if they are not licensed, registered, or authorized under Connecticut's medical licensing laws (Chapter 370). It directly affects unlicensed individuals or businesses that currently misrepresent themselves as physicians through advertising or service descriptions. The bill requires that any use of the title must clearly indicate the person is properly licensed to practice medicine or surgery. This is a straightforward licensing requirement aimed at preventing public confusion about who is legally permitted to provide medical care.
