Hospitals - Patients in Active Labor - Safe Discharge Labor Plans

Summary

The bill forces hospitals to draft a written plan that explains why a laboring patient can be discharged or transferred, and to get the patient’s signed acknowledgment of the risks. It also requires long‑term record keeping, public posting of patient rights, annual training for obstetric and emergency staff, and yearly reporting to the health department. The goal is to improve safety for mothers who leave the hospital while still in labor.
