CA Bill...i.e. more stringent control over physicians who spread misinformation in their practice as exemplified during the COVID pandemic. Yes, people, including physicians, can speak more freely...BUT, not without consequences and not without State Medical Board Reviews.
In RFK Jr.'s situation, Instagram did its own Review of his comments on COVID vaccines and used medical reviewers to make their business decision...again, Free Speech has limits.

Aside from repealing AB 2098, the new legislation, called SB 815opens in a new tab or window, includes several consumer protections that advocates had long sought. It requires that the board communicate with aggrieved patients who filed a complaint.
Before a complaint about a licensee's quality of care can be closed, the board will now be required to conduct an interview with the complainant, patient, or the patient's representative. Before now, a complaining party was not guaranteed to have input during the process.
The new legislation "will give patients a voice in the medical board's enforcement process that they have been seeking for years," said Carmen Balber, executive director for Consumer Watchdog. "Right now, 80-plus percent of complaints are closed before the patient is ever spoken to," she said.
The bill also establishes a new complainant liaison unit consisting of members of the Medical Board of California staff to respond to communications from the public about the complaint review and enforcement process. This provision does not take effect until 6 months following the budget allocating staffing positions for the new tasks.
