Summary

The bill creates an exception to fire and building codes so hospitals may use hallways, corridors, or other egress routes for patient beds when a "justified emergency" occurs. It requires hospital leaders to document the need, keep records, and ensure safety measures such as clear exit paths. The measure was vetoed and did not become law.
