Modifies provisions relating to the admissibility of evidence resulting from peer review committees for health care professionals

SB 1695 protects the confidentiality of peer review committee discussions and findings for health care professionals like doctors, nurses, and dentists by making them generally inadmissible as evidence in court cases about patient care. Exceptions include cases where a committee is involved in license revocation or when state licensing boards conduct investigations, as they can still subpoena relevant information. The bill also grants immunity from civil lawsuits to committee members and hospital officials for good-faith peer review activities. This change aims to encourage open peer reviews without legal exposure in most circumstances.
