Enacts the safe access to care act

Summary

The Safe Access to Care Act adds new rules to the state public health law that tell hospitals and other care sites how to handle civil immigration enforcement. It obligates facilities to post patient‑rights statements, adopt written policies, and forbid voluntary sharing of immigration status or other protected health information without a valid warrant. The goal is to ensure patients receive care without unlawful interference and that their personal data stay confidential.
