 IN ASSEMBLY

 March 13, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. GIBBS -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Health

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to requiring the use
 of metal detectors at all general hospital public entrances

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 5 of section 2832 of the public health law, as
 2 added by chapter 618 of the laws of 2025, is amended to read as follows:
 3 5. Based on the findings and ongoing review of the workplace violence
 4 assessment, general hospitals shall implement a workplace violence safe-
 5 ty and security plan, which shall be updated as necessary to address
 6 newly identified material risks and changes in conditions. The safety
 7 and security plan shall specify methods to reduce identified risks,
 8 which may include employee training, increased staffing and security,
 9 engineering controls such as barriers, lighting, alarms and communi-
 10 cation systems, safety equipment, general hospital improvements or
 11 modifications, and other appropriate measures relevant to the general
 12 hospital, and shall at a minimum include the use of metal detectors at
 13 all public entrances. Each general hospital shall provide a written
 14 detailed summary of the safety and security plan to its employees and
 15 collective bargaining representatives, if applicable. Each general
 16 hospital shall also provide information to its employees and collective
 17 bargaining representatives, if applicable, about how to report incidents
 18 of workplace violence. Each general hospital shall share summaries of
 19 the incident log, appropriately redacted to protect the privacy of
 20 persons involved in an incident, trends and analysis of relevant data
 21 with the general hospital security or safety committee responsible for
 22 workplace violence and ensure that the data is part of the workplace
 23 violence assessment process.
 24 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately, provided, however, if
 25 chapter 618 of the laws of 2025 shall not have taken effect on or before
 26 such date then this act shall take effect on the same date and in the
 27 same manner as such chapter of the laws of 2025 takes effect.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
