Protects health care providers' free speech and prohibits state agencies from discriminating against them for such speech.
The bill creates the "Free Speech for Health Care Providers Act," which prohibits state agencies from discriminating against health care providers for engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment and Wyoming Constitution. It mandates that state agencies notify providers of any complaints or actions related to their speech. Providers can sue for damages and attorney's fees if they are not notified. The act defines "health care provider" broadly and "discrimination" as actions like license suspension or revocation, reprimands, or loss of privileges.
