Changes the penalty for inappropriate disclosure of patient safety data from a $1,000 fine, six months in jail, or both, for each disclosure.  The new penalty would be a $10,000 civil monetary penalty, but no jail time, unless the disclosure was in violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), in which case the HIPAA penalties would apply.
