HB 372 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

HEALTH CARE/PROVIDERS: Provides relative to patient wait time for the provision of emergency care (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

This bill modifies an existing healthcare measure by removing two previous amendments and updating the reporting requirements for a collaborative group studying emergency care wait times. Specifically, it instructs the collaborative to submit a summary of its findings and collected data to state health committees. The legislation does not create new patient protections or mandate specific wait time standards but rather adjusts how the study's results are formally reported.
