AN ACT CONCERNING EMPLOYMENT PROTECTIONS FOR PHYSICIANS AND PROCESSES FOR HEALTH CARE EMPLOYMENT TRANSITIONS.

SB 563 requires health care employers to provide 180 days' notice before implementing major employment changes affecting physician groups of seven or more members. It prohibits termination without "just cause," mandates Commissioner of Health Strategy review for significant changes, and bans forcing physicians to join external groups without consent. The bill directly affects physicians in large health care practice groups and their employers. These provisions establish a regulatory framework to ensure fairer transitions during employment changes.
