The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act of 2026 prohibits non-physician-owned corporations and partnerships from owning medical practices or employing physicians, with limited exceptions for nonprofits and hospitals, and bans non-compete agreements for most physicians while preventing management services organizations from controlling clinical decisions or practice operations. The legislation protects physician independence and patient care by restricting corporate influence over medical decision-making and preventing healthcare providers from directing clinical matters. The Federal Trade Commission is empowered to enforce the law through FTC Act procedures, and injured parties including patients, physicians, and state attorneys general can file lawsuits seeking treble damages, attorney's fees, and other remedies, with courts authorized to issue cease-and-desist orders requiring violators to divest entities. The law does not preempt state laws that provide equal or stricter protections to physicians and medical practices, allowing states to maintain their own ownership requirements if they choose.
