 IN ASSEMBLY

 March 5, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. SEPTIMO, JACOBSON, STIRPE, STECK -- read once and
 referred to the Committee on Health

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to requiring health-
 care facilities to maintain a fifty percent operating threshold of
 certain reusable healthcare protective textiles in their inventory

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

 1 Section 1. Section 2803 of the public health law is amended by adding
 2 a new subdivision 15 to read as follows:
 3 15. (a) The commissioner shall ensure that all healthcare facilities
 4 as defined in paragraph (b) of this subdivision possess and maintain an
 5 operating threshold of at least fifty percent of all healthcare protec-
 6 tive textiles (HPT) as provided by a hygienically clean laundry service
 7 provider; provided, however, that upon request, the department may grant
 8 an extension or reprieve, at its sole and exclusive discretion if the
 9 healthcare facility demonstrates, to the commissioner's satisfaction,
 10 that such healthcare facility's inability to meet such requirement is
 11 solely attributable to supply chain issues that are beyond the hospi-
 12 tal's control and purchasing HPT at market rates would facilitate price
 13 gouging by HPT vendors.
 14 (b) For purposes of this subdivision, the following terms shall have
 15 the following meanings:
 16 (i) "healthcare facility" shall mean hospitals, skilled nursing facil-
 17 ities, outpatient care centers, long-term care facilities, physical
 18 therapy centers, comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities,
 19 end-stage renal disease facilities, hospice, physician's offices, non-
 20 physician provider's offices, and laboratories;
 21 (ii) "healthcare protective textiles" shall mean all types of barrier
 22 garments, incontinence pads and barrier curtains; and
 23 (iii) "operating threshold" shall mean a constantly rotating stock of
 24 HPT textiles being used, returned to a laundry facility, processed by a

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

 1 hygienically clean certified facility, and returned to a healthcare
 2 facility for use.
 3 (c) Failure to possess and maintain such a supply of HPT may result in
 4 a fine to be determined by the department; provided, however, that no
 5 such revocation or suspension shall be ordered unless the department has
 6 provided the healthcare facility with a thirty-day grace period, to
 7 achieve compliance with the requirements of paragraph (a) of this subdi-
 8 vision.
 9 § 2. This act shall take effect one year after it shall have become a
 10 law.
