Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Health Care Violence Prevention Act. Removes the term "committed person" and replaces it with "custodial detainee" throughout the Act. Provides that "workplace violence" does not include acts committed by individuals presenting for assessment, evaluation, or treatment for mental health or behavioral health conditions at a retail health care facility, a hospital, or a veterans' home. In provisions prohibiting a health care provider from discouraging a health care worker from exercising his or her right to contact law enforcement or file a report with law enforcement because of workplace violence, provides that such discouragement does not include training programs intended to instruct health care providers on proper practices and procedures applicable to the assessment, evaluation, or treatment of those with mental health or behavioral health conditions. Provides that health care providers that employ a health care worker shall display a notice stating that physical battery (rather than physical assault) will be reported to law enforcement. Specifies actions that are not included in the definition of "Type 2 violence". Provides that if a custodial detainee receives medical care and treatment at a place other than an institution or facility of the Department Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice, then the institution or facility shall ensure that the custodial detainee is accompanied by personnel authorized by the commander or chief operating officer of the institution or facility to transport and retain custody of custodial detainees. Effective January 1, 2020.
