Requires the use of metal detectors at all general hospital public entrances

This bill mandates that all general hospitals install metal detectors at every public entrance to enhance workplace safety. It requires hospitals to include this specific security measure within their broader workplace violence safety and security plans, which must also cover employee training and other risk-reduction strategies. Hospitals are further obligated to share these plans with staff and union representatives and to report incident data to internal safety committees while protecting individual privacy. The legislation takes effect immediately or aligns with the timeline of related 2025 laws if not yet in force.
