Summary

The bill adds new rules for hospitals, clinics and other health‑care providers when a patient is accompanied by a federal immigration officer. Facilities must verify the officer’s identity, keep them out of exam rooms, inform patients of their rights and ban “blackout” practices that hide a patient’s presence. It also safeguards staff who follow the rules and sets reporting requirements if officers refuse to comply.
