Constitutional challenge to Amendment 7
A federal lawsuit was filed July 10 in the US District Court in Tallahassee seeking declaratory and injunctive relief barring enforcement of Amendment 7 as violative of the US Constitution. Click here for a copy of the 40-page complaint.
The FHA and numerous parties are asking the court to rule that Amendment 7 conflicts with federal statutes governing the medical review process, and violates constitutional rights to privacy, due process, and impairs obligations of existing contracts.
The Health Law Section thanks the Florida Hospital Association for this information and the link.
