Summary

If the state director or a local health officer declares an epidemic, they can issue emergency orders that ban or limit any visitor to patients in qualified health‑care facilities for up to 30 days. After that period, visits by family members or other representatives of patients with cognitive impairments must be allowed, though the order can require safety steps such as testing, scheduling, or time limits. The bill defines which facilities and visitors are covered.
