A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
This bill limits how health care workers are identified in certain contexts to their first name and first initial of their last name. When complaints are filed alleging an offense against a hospital health care practitioner, complainants are required to provide only the address of the health care facility where the worker was employed at the time of the offense, rather than personal residential addresses. These provisions protect the privacy of both health care workers and individuals filing complaints related to incidents involving hospital workers.
