The proposed General Assembly Raised Bill No. 1380 aims to prohibit discrimination by health care providers in the provision of health care services within the state, effective October 1, 2025. The bill defines discriminatory practices to include discrimination based on various factors such as race, color, religious creed, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital status, age, national origin, ancestry, and disabilities, among others. It clarifies that "health care provider" encompasses any licensed individual or entity providing health care services. Importantly, the bill specifies that it does not mandate the delivery of futile health care or interfere with public health planning.

Additionally, the bill amends existing statutes by repealing and substituting certain definitions and complaint filing timelines. Specifically, it adds the new section 19a-498c to the list of discriminatory practices and modifies the complaint filing deadlines for acts of discrimination. Complaints related to violations of the new section must be filed within three years of the alleged act, while other complaints have varying deadlines based on the date of the discrimination. The bill's intent is to enhance protections against discrimination in health care settings, ensuring equitable access to services for all individuals.
