The proposed bill establishes the "No Patient Left Alone Act," which grants patients and residents in healthcare facilities the right to have a support person present during the receipt of health care services. It defines key terms such as "facility," "patient," "resident," and "support person," and mandates that facilities allow at least one support person of the patient's or resident's choice to be physically present, with certain exceptions. Facilities are required to develop written policies regarding this right, inform patients and residents of their rights, and ensure that support persons have equal visitation privileges. The bill also outlines specific provisions for minors, end-of-life situations, and visitation during emergencies or pandemics.

Additionally, the bill imposes a civil penalty of $500 per day for facilities that knowingly violate these provisions and limits the liability of facilities regarding support person access. It specifies circumstances under which a facility may restrict access to support persons, such as in emergency situations or if the support person poses a risk. The rights established in this bill cannot be waived or suspended by the facility or any governmental entity, even during a declared emergency.
