CA SB1033

Requires healing arts licensees on probation (for orders made after January 1, 2017) to disclose probationary status to patients before their first visit on or after January 1, 2018, in specified circumstances including gross negligence allegations, repeated violations, or prior probation history.

Mandates licensees obtain signed patient receipts acknowledging the probation disclosure and explaining how to find additional information on regulatory board websites.

Exempts disclosure requirements when patients are unable to comprehend disclosure and no guardian is available (except chiropractors), or in emergency room situations where the treating licensee is unknown until immediately before treatment.

Requires the Medical Board of California, Osteopathic Medical Board, California Board of Podiatric Medicine, State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, Naturopathic Medicine Committee, and Acupuncture Board to develop standardized formats by January 1, 2018 for listing probation information on their websites and public documents.

Authorizes the Medical Board of California to recover investigation and prosecution costs from physicians and surgeons only when their licenses are placed on probation, with revenue neutrality requirements through increased licensing fees.
