Hospital leaders say they are tracking state bills on weapon screening and hiring physicians
Summary
CEO Kelly told the board the hospital is tracking 'assembly bill 29 75' requiring weapon-screening policies and 'assembly bill 23 11' related to district hospitals employing physicians; Kelly said both must be monitored and that the hospital is preparing operational and financial work to respond if they become law.
During her CEO report, Kelly said the hospital is "tracking very clearly, the assembly bill 29 75," which the meeting described as requiring hospitals to adopt weapon-detection policies, including screening at entrances. She said Kimberly is leading the hospital’s compliance work and that the organization has conducted demonstrations of weapon-screening options.
Kelly also discussed "assembly bill 23 11," noting it would allow district hospitals to employ physicians and that it passed a Senate Health Committee on July 1 and is pending in the Senate Appropriations Committee. She said advocacy groups noted friendly amendments that add requirements for district hospitals but that Sonoma Valley Hospital still qualifies; she declined to state the effective date and said she would report back once confirmed.
