Relating to prohibited retaliation against a physician or health care provider for reporting certain violations or taking certain actions with respect to the provision of health care services; providing a civil remedy.

SB 2043 prohibits health care facilities and others from retaliating against physicians or health care providers who report violations related to patient safety, unsafe treatment practices, or public health risks. It directly affects nurses, pharmacists, technicians, and other health care workers who report concerns about care quality or safety. The law creates a civil remedy, allowing affected providers to sue for damages if retaliated against (e.g., through termination or demotion). This establishes a legal pathway for health care professionals to report safety issues without fear of workplace punishment.
