House Study Committee on Noncompete Clauses in Physician Contracts; create

This resolution creates a House Study Committee to examine how noncompete clauses in physician contracts affect patient access to care and Georgia's healthcare system. The committee, appointed by the Speaker, will study whether these clauses - restricting doctors from practicing in specific areas after leaving a job - disrupt care continuity or hinder physician mobility. It will not make policy changes but will issue a report by December 2025 with recommendations for potential legislative action. The committee's work directly impacts Georgia's healthcare providers and patients, focusing on the current lack of legal restrictions on such clauses in state law.
