Sponsor:  Schaaf

This bill gives hospital medical staff the right to self-govern
when establishing certain provisions of medical bylaws, rules, or
regulations; selecting and removing medical staff officers;
assessing and utilizing medical staff dues; retaining an
attorney; and the initiation and adoption of bylaws, rules,

The medical staff and hospital governing board will meet to
