Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Assisted living clot screening and info

The state adds clear definitions for pulmonary embolism and venous blood clots. The Health Department creates a standard resident screening form that checks for clot signs and what to do in an emergency. Assisted living centers must give each new resident a pamphlet on clot risks and warning signs at admission. These rules take effect July 1, 2026.

Hospitals must assess clot risk and train staff

Hospitals with emergency departments and ambulatory surgery centers must use a national tool to check patients for blood clots. They must keep written policies for treating clots. They must train nonphysician clinical staff at least once a year. These rules apply starting July 1, 2026.

State blood clot registry and reports

The Health Department contracts with the state’s health information exchange to run a statewide blood clot registry. Starting July 1, 2027, hospitals with emergency departments must file an annual electronic report. Reports include counts and patient age, ZIP code, sex, residence in a nursing facility or assisted living center, fatal cases, how the clot was diagnosed, and the recommended treatment. The exchange sends regular summaries to the Health Department. The registry is used or published only for medical research or education to reduce illness or death. By June 1, 2027, the Department reports on cases from the law’s start through June 30, 2027.

Effective date and emergency clause

The law states an effective date of July 1, 2026. Lawmakers also declare an emergency. Because of that emergency, the law takes effect upon passage and approval.
