Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act. Requires the Department of Public Health to submit a report to the General Assembly containing information on hospitals that have submitted a plan to provide emergency services to sexual assault survivors to the Department and to post the report on its Internet website. Changes the maximum fine for failure to submit a Plan of Correction or to implement the Plan of Correction to $1,000 (now, $100.00) per day. Requires the Department to accept and investigate any complaint of a hospital not providing services required by the Act. Effective immediately.
House Floor Amendment No. 1 Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Replaces with the bill as introduced with the following changes. Requires the report to contain a list of hospitals that have failed to submit an acceptable Plan of Correction within the time required by the Act (rather than information on the Department of Public Health's site reviews of hospitals that have submitted plans) and a list of hospitals at which the periodic site review required by the Act has been conducted. Requires the Department to update the report on its Internet website when a hospital listed as noncompliant because of a failure to submit an acceptable Plan of Correction submits and implements the required Plan of Correction. Changes the maximum fine for failure to submit a Plan of Correction or to implement the Plan of Correction to $500 (rather than $1,000) per day. Requires the Department to implement a complaint system through which the Department may receive complaints of violations of the Act (rather than to accept and investigate any complaint of a hospital not providing services required by the Act). Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
