Creates provisions relating to staffing requirements for emergency departments in hospitals
HB 2935 requires hospitals with emergency departments to have a physician physically present and on duty at all times the emergency department is open. This directly affects all hospitals operating emergency services within the state. The key provision mandates continuous on-site medical supervision during all operational hours, eliminating gaps in physician availability. The bill is currently in the early legislative stages after introduction in January 2026.
