Creates provisions relating to workplace violence prevention in health care settings

Summary

The bill would require each hospital to form a workplace‑violence prevention committee that includes a nurse, a physician and a security staff member, and to develop a written plan to protect staff from assaults and threats. It also mandates annual training, reporting mechanisms, protection from retaliation, and signage warning that assaulting staff is a crime. Facilities and participating staff would be immune from civil or criminal liability when they follow the plan.
