Pennsylvania SB680 amends the Fair Contracting for Health Care Practitioners Act by expanding the definition of "health care practitioner." The bill adds speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and respiratory therapists to the list of health care practitioners. This change ensures that these professionals are included under the act's provisions, which prohibit the enforcement of certain noncompete covenants between health care practitioners and employers. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
