Relating to the process by which a hospital makes certain determinations regarding medical staff privileges.

HB 3435 requires hospitals to use an objective, consistent process when evaluating requests for medical staff privileges (such as for doctors, dentists, or podiatrists) or renewing those privileges. It mandates that hospitals apply standardized criteria to all applicants without bias. The bill also allows hospitals to require physicians, dentists, or podiatrists to document their current clinical competency and relevant training for the specific procedures they seek privileges for. This law takes effect on September 1, 2025.
