Regards health care facilities and infection prevention textiles
Refer to Committee
Summary
The bill defines a list of health‑care facilities and mandates that 50 % of the textiles they use to prevent infection—such as gowns, curtains, and linens—must be reusable and cleaned by a "hygienically clean certified" laundry. Facilities must keep records, may request an exemption for supply‑chain disruptions, and must follow CDC guidance. The goal is to cut waste and ensure consistent infection control.
