TO REQUIRE DIALYSIS CENTERS TO HAVE A BACKUP GENERATOR ON SITE.

SB 273 proposed to require all dialysis centers operating in Arkansas to have at least one backup generator on site. The bill defined a "dialysis center" as a healthcare facility providing outpatient dialysis services to patients with renal disease. This measure aimed to ensure power for critical medical equipment during outages, directly affecting these facilities and their patients. SB 273 was referred to the Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee but died in committee at Sine Die adjournment.
