Missouri HB3282 modifies peer review committee provisions, defining terms and protecting committee proceedings from discovery.

Missouri HB3282 modifies provisions relating to peer review committees. It repeals and replaces section 537.035, RSMo, defining terms such as "health care professional" and "peer review committee." The bill protects interviews, memoranda, proceedings, findings, deliberations, reports, and minutes of peer review committees from discovery, subpoena, or other legal compulsion. It also grants immunity from civil liability to committee members and participants acting in good faith, without malice, and reasonably related to the scope of inquiry.
