SB 384 - This act provides penalties for inmates filing a
false, frivolous or malicious complaint, or one filed for the
purpose of harassment, against a licensed physician or nurse.
The penalties, an additional sixty days before being eligible for
parole or a fine up to half the offender's prison account, are
the same as those for filing such claims in court.
