Oregon Enacts SB 951, Restricting PE-Backed MSOs in Physician Practice Transactions
On June 9, 2025, Oregon enacted Senate Bill 951 (SB 951), a sweeping new law significantly limiting how management services organizations (MSOs)—including those backed by private-equity firms—may engage with physician practices. The legislation targets traditional “friendly provider” models by restricting ownership and operational control of professional medical entities and voiding restrictive covenants. Investors must now reassess Oregon-based physician practice investments to ensure compliance by 2026 (for new MSOs) and 2029 (for existing ones). It’s noteworthy that this law will coexist with Oregon’s complicated health care transactions notice law, a law that requires a thorough review of certain health care transactions.

What Is Privacy Compliance Law?
The area of privacy compliance law addresses how organizations meet legal and regulatory requirements for collecting, processing, or maintaining personal information. Data privacy breaches can lead to regulatory investigations and fines. When privacy is compromised, consumers or employees may respond with civil lawsuits. It is recommended, but not required by a federal law, that companies create and post privacy policies on websites and mobile apps. Once posted, companies must follow these policies or face scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission. (California and Delaware state law does require privacy policies to be posted on websites and mobile applications, if the site collects personally identifiable information).

A privacy audit, also known as a privacy compliance audit, is an assessment tool that looks at an organization’s privacy protection policies and procedures, specifically in light of current relevant laws or regulatory requirements. The audits may be conducted by private organizations or by government agencies that are verifying a company’s regulatory compliance. In terms of privacy audit law, the FTC can conduct audits of organizations and take action when a company is improperly securing private information. Action is taken under the FTC Act, which covers unfair trade practices. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act audits are also conducted to ensure that providers are following HIPAA law and protecting private health information.
