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 provision of health care services. It defines key terms such as "facility," "patient," "resident," and "support person," and mandates that facilities must allow at least one support person of the patient's or resident's choice to be physically present, with certain exceptions for specific situations like emergency care or restricted areas. Facilities are required to have written policies regarding this right, inform patients and residents of their rights, and ensure that support persons have equal visitation privileges.

Additionally, the bill outlines the limitations of these rights, stating that patients or residents cannot be forced to waive their rights or consent to additional conditions to have a support person present. It imposes a civil penalty of $500 for each day a facility knowingly violates this section and provides liability protections for facilities regarding support person access. Exceptions to the support person's presence are also detailed, including circumstances where access may be restricted due to safety concerns or at the request of the patient or law enforcement. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the compassionate care of patients and residents by ensuring they have the support they need during healthcare services.
