Relates to requiring health care facilities to report incidents of a sexual offense to the departments of both health and education

This bill, known as "Clara's Law," requires hospitals and approved healthcare facilities to report all separate allegations of sexual offenses committed by licensed healthcare practitioners against patients to both the state Department of Health and Department of Education within 30 days. It directly affects healthcare facilities, licensed practitioners (including those under Education Law Title 8), and the state departments responsible for oversight. The law mandates written reports containing specific details like the practitioner's license information, the nature of the incident, any criminal conviction, and the facility's actions taken. These reports aim to ensure both departments can monitor and address potential misconduct involving patient safety.
