Authorizes certain licensed health service professionals to form limited liability companies
This bill allows licensed health and professional service providers (such as doctors, dentists, veterinarians, engineers, social workers, and therapists) to form limited liability companies (LLCs) for their practice. It requires all LLC members to hold valid state licenses for their specific profession and prohibits altering the scope of any member's licensed practice. The bill specifies that LLCs can offer multidisciplinary services only if each member practices within their individually licensed scope, and it explicitly bars law firms from mixing with other professional services. This changes existing rules by expanding LLC formation options for these professionals while maintaining strict licensing and scope-of-practice boundaries.
