SB 158 (2008) c. 294

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

SB 158, c. 294: Hospital; patient safety and infection control. Establishes an infection surveillance, prevention, and control program within the Department of Public Health to provide oversight of hospital prevention and reporting of general acute care hospital-associated infections, expands the responsibilities of the existing Healthcare Associated Infection Advisory Committee, and requires all hospitals to institute a patient safety plan for the purpose of improving the health and safety of patients and reducing preventable patient safety events.
