What’s in it

AI summary Licensed hospitals must send their rules about patient admissions, nondiscrimination, and reproductive health care to the state department of inspections and appeals. The state will post these rules on its website for everyone to see. Hospitals also have to post their policies on their own websites so the public can easily read them without needing a password.1

Read the official explanation

This bill requires a licensed hospital, no later than September 1, 2022, to submit to the department of inspections and appeals (DIA) its policies related to admission, nondiscrimination, and reproductive health care. DIA shall post a copy of the policies received on the department’s internet site. If a hospital makes changes or additions to any of the policies, the hospital shall submit a copy of the changed or added policy to DIA within days after the hospital approves the change or addition. A hospital shall post a copy of the policies on the hospital’s internet site where the policies are readily accessible to the public without requiring a login credential or other restriction.
