An Act providing for the reporting of workplace violence in health facilities.
This bill establishes the Health Care Workplace Violence Prevention Act to require health facilities, including hospitals and nursing homes, to report incidents of workplace violence to law enforcement and maintain records of such events for at least two years. It mandates that facilities provide employees with clear methods to report violence or suggest prevention measures without fear of retaliation, while also protecting staff who file false reports or act as perpetrators. Additionally, the legislation enhances the grading of certain criminal offenses that constitute workplace violence and requires facilities to post signage related to these safety measures.
