The proposed bill mandates that hospitals, health care clinics, and long-term care facilities receiving state funds report incidents of workplace violence to the Department of Workforce Services on a monthly basis, starting August 1, 2025. The required reports must include detailed information about the incidents, such as the category of the perpetrator, patient-related and environmental risk factors, types of incidents, victims by job type, and the specific location of each incident. Additionally, the Department is tasked with compiling this data and presenting a summary of the total incidents reported between July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026, to the Joint Labor, Health, and Social Services Interim Committee by October 1, 2026.

To facilitate the implementation of this reporting requirement, the Department of Workforce Services is also responsible for creating necessary rules, including a standardized reporting form for the facilities. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the completion of legislative processes. The definition of "health care provider" is specified as per existing law, ensuring clarity in the reporting requirements.
