AN ACT CONCERNING HEALTH CARE ACCESSIBILITY FOR PERSONS WITH A DISABILITY.

HB 5371 requires all health care facilities and practice locations in Connecticut to document and submit an inventory of their medical diagnostic equipment by July 1, 2025. This includes identifying which equipment meets accessibility standards and which does not, along with an action plan to address gaps. The inventory and action plan must be submitted to the Commissioner of Public Health. The bill directly affects medical providers and aims to improve accessibility for people with disabilities by ensuring facilities track and address equipment barriers.
