House Bill 732 amends the Occupations Code to require the Texas Medical Board to remove any record of a formal complaint in the annual update of a physician's profile if the complaint was dismissed more than five years before the date of the update and the complaint was dismissed as baseless, unfounded, or not supported by sufficient evidence, or no action was taken against the physician's license as a result of the complaint. The bill requires the board to remove any record of the investigation of medical malpractice claims or complaints if the investigation was resolved more than five years before the date of the update and no action was taken against the physician's license as a result of the investigation.
