 <https://www.mbc.ca.gov/Download/Documents/SB425Notice.pdf> Medical Board
of CA

 

SB 425 (Hill) <https://www.mbc.ca.gov/Download/Documents/SB425Notice.pdf>
was signed into law by the Governor and became effective on January 1, 2020.
This bill requires health facilities and entities that allow a licensed
health care professional to provide care for patients, to report allegations
of sexual abuse and sexual misconduct made by a patient against a licensed
health care practitioner to that practitioner's licensing board within 15
days. The patient allegation must be made in writing to the health facility
or other entity to trigger the reporting requirements under this bill.
Please use the Health Facility Reporting Form (805.8)
<https://www.mbc.ca.gov/Download/Forms/enf-805-8.pdf>  to report allegations
made against allopathic physicians to the Medical Board of California
(Board).

 

This bill specifies that a willful failure to file the required report is
punishable by a fine not to exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)
per violation. This bill specifies that any failure to file the report is
punishable by a fine not to exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) per
violation.

 

The Board encourages you to work with health facilities and other entities
to ensure that these written allegations are reported to the Board. It is
important to note that any allegation received by the Board will go through
the Board's normal enforcement process, which includes due process rights
for physicians. 

 

Please contact Sharlene Smith in the Board's Central Complaint Unit at (916)
263-2519 or by email at complaint at mbc.ca.gov <mailto:complaint at mbc.ca.gov>
if you have questions or if you need additional information
