  1  2 
  1  3                             AN ACT
  1  4 RELATING TO HOSPITAL CLINICAL PRIVILEGES OF A PHYSICIAN
  1  5    ASSISTANT OR ADVANCED REGISTERED NURSE PRACTITIONER.  
  1  6 
  1  7 BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:
  1  8 
  1  9    Section 1.  Section 135B.7, unnumbered paragraph 2, Code
  1 10 1999, is amended to read as follows:
  1 11    The rules shall state that a hospital shall not deny
  1 12 clinical privileges to physicians and surgeons, podiatric
  1 13 physicians, osteopaths, osteopathic surgeons, dentists, or
  1 14 certified health service providers in psychology, physician
  1 15 assistants, or advanced registered nurse practitioners
  1 16 licensed under chapter 148, 148C, 149, 150, 150A, 152, or 153,
  1 17 or section 154B.7, solely by reason of the license held by the
  1 18 practitioner or solely by reason of the school or institution
  1 19 in which the practitioner received medical schooling or
  1 20 postgraduate training if the medical schooling or postgraduate
  1 21 training was accredited by an organization recognized by the
  1 22 council on postsecondary accreditation or an accrediting group
  1 23 recognized by the United States department of education.  A
  1 24 hospital may establish procedures for interaction between a
  1 25 patient and a practitioner.  Nothing in the The rules shall
  1 26 not prohibit a hospital from limiting, restricting, or
  1 27 revoking clinical privileges of a practitioner for violation
  1 28 of hospital rules, regulations, or procedures established
  1 29 under this paragraph, when applied in good faith and in a
  1 30 nondiscriminatory manner.  Nothing in this This paragraph
  1 31 shall not require a hospital to expand the hospital's current
  1 32 scope of service delivery solely to offer the services of a
  1 33 class of providers not currently providing services at the
  1 34 hospital.  Nothing in this This section shall not be construed
  1 35 to require a hospital to establish rules which are
  2  1 inconsistent with the scope of practice established for
  2  2 licensure of practitioners to whom this paragraph applies.
  2  3 This section shall not be construed to authorize the denial of
  2  4 clinical privileges to a practitioner or class of
  2  5 practitioners solely because a hospital has as employees of
  2  6 the hospital identically licensed practitioners providing the
  2  7 same or similar services.
