UT HB0164

Health care providers must provide written information about how to file a complaint with the Division of Professional Licensing when a patient discloses concerns about a current or former provider's potential unprofessional or unlawful conduct.

Nondisclosure clauses that prevent patients from reporting health care provider conduct to the Division of Professional Licensing are only valid if the provider gave the patient a model notice about their reporting rights before the contract was signed (effective June 1, 2025).

The Division of Professional Licensing must create and publish online a downloadable model notice explaining what constitutes unprofessional or unlawful conduct, how to file complaints, and referencing Section 58-1-501.

Applies to physicians and surgeons licensed under Chapters 58-67 and 58-68 of Utah Code.

Takes effect May 6, 2026.
