This bill amends R.S. 40:2199.12(3) to enhance workplace violence prevention measures in healthcare settings. It defines "regulated entity" to include various healthcare providers, such as licensed healthcare facilities, federally qualified health centers, and pharmacies. The bill specifies that an office of a healthcare provider treating patients is considered a regulated entity unless it employs five or fewer licensed medical providers, including physicians, pharmacists, advanced practice registered nurses, physician assistants, or dentists.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous reference to federally qualified health centers as defined in R.S. 40:1185.3 and replaces it with a reference to R.S. 40:1183.3. This change aims to clarify the definition of regulated entities and ensure that healthcare providers implement necessary workplace violence mitigation initiatives. Overall, the bill seeks to improve safety and security for healthcare workers and patients alike.
