Health Care Practitioner Transparency Act.
SB 332, the Health Care Practitioner Transparency Act, requires health care professionals (like doctors, nurses, and dentists) who advertise services to clearly state their specific license or certification type in all marketing materials (such as websites, brochures, or business cards). It prohibits using misleading titles (e.g., "cardiologist" or "surgeon") if not licensed for that specialty, and bans false claims about qualifications. The law applies to all patient-facing practitioners in advertising, with enforcement handled by licensing boards through disciplinary actions for violations. It takes effect October 1, 2025, and does not apply to non-patient-facing roles like administrative staff.
