The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6595, aims to amend current statutes to mandate that hospitals provide patients undergoing treatment for a psychiatric disability with access to the Internet and their personal cellular telephones. This requirement is intended to enhance communication and connectivity for patients during their hospital stay, potentially improving their overall treatment experience.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that emphasizes the necessity of Internet access and personal cellular phone usage for psychiatric patients. The intent behind this legislation is to ensure that patients can maintain contact with their support systems and access information that may aid in their recovery.
