ABOUT ASSEMBLY BILL 1278:

California is currently considering imposing new financial disclosure requirements on physicians and surgeons. However, the driving force behind AB-1278 is not the state government but a patient, Wendy Knecht. Although the legislation faces an uphill battle, Ms. Knecht’s efforts reflect a significant shift in the transparency debate with patients demanding and receiving a seat at the table to improve the physician-industry financial disclosure system. ---- Policy and Medicine, August 2021
