Maddy summaryS 8339 (Hospital Visitation by Clergy) allows patients in hospitals to request visitation from a clergy member of their religious congregation, subject to four conditions: the patient (or legal representative) consents, the visit fits hospital capacity and unit policies, doesn't interfere with treatment, and poses no health/safety risk. It specifically permits one clergy member to visit alongside the hospital’s maximum visitor limit (for up to one hour), and allows immediate clergy access during life-threatening emergencies or end-of-life situations. The bill does not override hospital safety rules, restrict existing visitation policies in specialized units (like burn units), or require clergy to provide visitation. It directly affects patients seeking spiritual care and hospitals managing visitor policies.
