SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AB 408 by Assemblymember Berman to create a secret Medical Board program that will place patients at risk of harm at the hands of doctors abusing drugs or alcohol passed out of the Assembly Business & Professions Committee yesterday.The bill, AB 408 (Berman), would recreate a failed Medical Board "diversion" program that allowed doctors under investigation by the Board because of substance abuse to evade discipline by entering the program. That program was shut down for putting patients at risk after failing five state audits and two reports by a Legislatively-appointed Enforcement Monitor.Consumer Watchdog testified in opposition to the bill in Sacramento on Tuesday."The bill would eliminate a basic patient safety responsibility of the Medical Board: that the Board investigate and act if it refers a doctor to treatment and that doctor fails a drug test," testified Consumer Watchdog executive director Carmen Balber at the Tuesday hearing.The Legislature and the Board addressed the failures of the past diversion program by shutting that program down, and putting in place standards for monitoring doctors in diversion, a report to Medical Board enforcement staff, and consequences if a doctor referred to a diversion program fails a drug test or other program requirements. AB 408 does away with those protections."While keeping a failed drug test secret may be good for the doctor, it isn't good for patients being treated by that doctor," said Balber. "This isn't about doctors who voluntarily seek treatment; it would keep information secret about doctors who are already a clear and present danger to patients. If the board knows of a doctor's substance abuse, sends them to treatment, and then they fail a drug test, that fact can't be kept secret from the Board."Read Consumer Watchdog's letter of opposition to AB 408.
