Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Hospital Licensing Act. Provides that a hospital must give notice to a private emergency medical services provider if a patient has a dangerous or infectious disease. Provides that to determine the diseases for which notification must be provided, the Department of Public Health shall utilize the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) list of potentially life-threatening infectious diseases (instead of establishing a list by regulation). Requires a hospital to attempt to provide verbal notice and shall provide written notice (instead of only written notice) regarding a patient. Requires a hospital to send a letter of notification no later than 48 hours (instead of 72 hours) following a confirmed diagnosis of a bloodborne communicable disease as provided by the CDC. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with substantially similar provisions, but with the following addition: requires a hospital to send a letter of notification no later than 48 hours after a confirmed diagnosis of an airborne or droplet-transmitted communicable disease as provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
