Adds penalties for violations of provisions relating to compassionate care visits in health care facilities

Summary

HB 2275 would replace the existing Compassionate Care Visitation Act with new rules that require health‑care facilities to allow at least two visitors at once, provide six or more hours of visitation each day, and permit 24‑hour visits when appropriate. Facilities that fail to follow the rules could be fined $1,000 for each day of non‑compliance, with enforcement handled by the Department of Health and Senior Services. The bill also directs the department to create informational materials for patients and families.
