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 that treats patients and is not otherwise licensed by the state will be considered a regulated entity, provided it employs more than five licensed medical providers.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that a healthcare entity will not be classified as a regulated entity if it employs five or fewer licensed medical providers, including physicians, pharmacists, advanced practice registered nurses, physician assistants, or dentists. This change aims to ensure that smaller healthcare practices are not burdened by the same regulations as larger entities while still promoting workplace safety in healthcare environments.
