 Introduced by Sen. LANZA -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to notifying hospital
 patients upon intake of reports of hospital-acquired infections

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

 1 Section 1. Section 2819 of the public health law is amended by adding
 2 a new subdivision 6-a to read as follows:
 3 6-a. No later than one hundred eighty days after the issuance of the
 4 reports required pursuant to subparagraph (iii) of paragraph (c) of
 5 subdivision five of this section, each general hospital shall be
 6 required to notify patients as a component of prebooking, intake and
 7 registration of the hospital-acquired infections, that would be required
 8 to be reported to the department pursuant to this section, that occurred
 9 in the hospital for the prior thirty day period. Such notification shall
 10 be updated on a daily basis and shall be accomplished through the
 11 conspicuous posting of signs, which are easily understandable by the
 12 general public, and shall include directions on how to obtain additional
 13 information. To the degree practicable, the format of such signs shall
 14 be consistent with the format of the summary table required to be devel-
 15 oped pursuant to subdivision six of this section. Upon request the
 16 hospital shall provide a patient with an individual copy of the informa-
 17 tion contained on such sign. The department through regulation shall
 18 establish penalties applicable to the first and subsequent violations of
 19 the requirement imposed by this subdivision.
 20 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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