Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Stronger penalties and oversight for medical facilities

The Division can deny, suspend, or revoke a facility’s license for listed violations that risk patient safety. It can stop new admissions, cap occupancy to current beds, require transfers, and appoint temporary managers. The Division can fine up to $5,000 per day for each violation (interest up to 10% yearly). Off‑campus hospital sites that lack their own NPI can be fined up to $10,000 per day (interest up to 10%). Licenses can be suspended until unpaid penalties are paid, and the Division can recover court and attorney fees. Penalty money funds oversight, and county district attorneys must prosecute cases when the Division asks.

Tougher rules for dependent care facilities

The Division can revoke a dependent care facility’s license for new reasons, including certain crimes, failing to abate a nuisance, or not fixing ordered safety or health code problems. The Division must keep a complaint log on conduct that could lead to revocation. Adult day‑care facilities get complaint summaries, investigation reports, and actions, and must make them public. The Division must send a report by February 1 of each odd‑numbered year on the past two years.

County database to reunite mass-casualty victims

Counties may set up a secure database to help identify, reunite, and support victims after a mass-casualty event. In those counties, hospitals and independent emergency centers must report victim details within 24 hours of registration, following HIPAA rules. Facilities must tag each victim’s medical record with a unique identifier. Before discharge, staff must ask if you want long‑term support and get written permission to keep your info; otherwise, your data is deleted after everyone is identified and reunited. All data is confidential and used only for reunification and long‑term help, with strict security, role‑based access, and audits. Counties and hospital staff have civil immunity for good‑faith actions; hospitals and centers are not penalized under this chapter for failing the new report. The State Board must write rules to carry this out.
