The proposed bill mandates that all dialysis centers in Arkansas must have at least one backup generator on site to ensure continuous operation during power outages. This requirement is aimed at safeguarding the health and safety of patients receiving outpatient dialysis services, particularly those with renal disease, who may be vulnerable to disruptions in their treatment.

To implement this requirement, the bill introduces a new section to the Arkansas Code, specifically defining a "dialysis center" and outlining the necessity for backup generators. The language added to the law specifies that these facilities must be equipped with the necessary equipment to maintain operations and provide care to patients without interruption.
