Crimes and punishments; requiring report of certain injury. Effective date.
Second Reading referred to Judiciary Committee then to Appropriations Committee
Summary
The bill obligates doctors, nurses, pharmacists, emergency responders and other medical staff to immediately notify law‑enforcement when they treat a patient with injuries that appear to result from a gun, knife, poison, explosive or serious violent act. Reports must include the patient’s identifying information, details of the injury and any relevant video, and must be made by phone with written follow‑up within 72 hours. The law shields reporters from civil liability, keeps reports confidential, and penalizes anyone who fails to report or retaliates against reporters.
