Emergency Medical Care Clarity Act; create.

HB 1099, the Emergency Medical Care Clarity Act, requires hospitals to provide immediate medical screening and emergency care to anyone seeking treatment in an emergency department, regardless of their ability to pay, insurance status, immigration status, or pregnancy condition. It prohibits delaying or denying care for non-medical reasons, including pregnancy outcomes, and mandates that hospitals stabilize emergency medical conditions - such as active labor, preeclampsia, or complications from pregnancy - before transferring patients. The law explicitly states that hospitals cannot withhold necessary treatment (including pregnancy-related stabilization) based on staff or institutional beliefs, and it allows patients harmed by violations to seek civil remedies. Hospitals violating the act face investigations by the Attorney General and potential civil penalties.
