CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 1598 - This act provides that a medical malpractice claim includes when a health care provider negligently uses, selects, or implements or unduly, detrimentally, or erroneously relies upon artificial intelligence, as defined in the act, in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of a patient and such negligence or reliance directly causes or contributes to the plaintiff's injury. In such cases, the action shall be brought within two years from the date of the discovery of such alleged negligence or reliance, or from the date on which the patient in the exercise of ordinary care should have discovered such alleged negligence or reliance, whichever date first occurs.
