CT SB01452

Hospitals cannot assign attending physicians more than 18 patients during a 12-hour shift unless they pay 1.5 times the physician's hourly rate or the equivalent relative value unit payment, whichever is greater

Health systems must consult with physician members before making staffing changes to group practices (7+ full-time equivalent physicians); failure to do so triggers appointment of an independent monitor for one year at the health system's expense

Significant staffing changes affecting 50% or more of a group practice's workforce require 180 days advance notice and approval from the Commissioner of Health Strategy

Healthcare institutions cannot terminate physicians except for just cause based solely on performance or conduct; at-will termination provisions in employment contracts entered into after October 1, 2025 are void

Physicians cannot be required to join another group practice without their consent
