DESCRIPTION
This proposal would close portions of hospital records and meetings in certain situations. It provides that a governing body, subsidiary, or lessee of a city, county, or district hospital may close records or meetings that pertain to private information about strategic planning or marketing or the terms and conditions of certain contracts, including physician contracts. Individuals who are denied access may petition the circuit court to conduct a private review of the closed records or meetings to determine if they were appropriately closed.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
