An Act mandating retrofitting accessibility for all medical facilities

This bill requires all licensed medical facilities in the state to make physical accessibility improvements, directly affecting hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers. Key provisions mandate specific upgrades like automatic doors, chairs with handles, wider hallways, and bathroom railings, among other necessary changes. The department of health will create detailed regulations (via Chapter 30A) to define what accessibility enhancements are required and set minimum standards. The law focuses on concrete building modifications to improve access for patients with mobility challenges.
