Prohibits health regulatory boards from revoking, suspending, restricting, or refusing to issue or renew a registration, certificate, license, or multistate licensure privilege or otherwise discipline a health care practitioner, including a holder of a multistate licensure privileged to practice nursing, solely on the grounds that the health care practitioner has mental illness absent evidence indicating that the health care practitioner's mental illness renders the health care practitioner unable to practice with reasonable skill and safety to patients.
