MO HB1989

Expands the definition of "disciplinary action" to include home health agencies, nursing homes, nursing facilities, and any entity employing or contracting with licensed health care professionals, in addition to hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers.

Requires chief executive officers of covered entities to report any disciplinary action against health care professionals or voluntary resignations of professionals facing potential complaints to the appropriate licensing authority within 15 days of final action.

Mandates reports include the reporting person's and subject's contact information, detailed facts with dates, and court action details if applicable.

Grants licensing authorities immunity from liability for good-faith actions in implementing the reporting requirements and allows them to share disciplinary reports with other entities and law enforcement agencies upon request.

Specifies that filed reports cannot be used against health care professionals in other administrative or judicial proceedings, and establishes violations as infractions.
