Requires the use of metal detectors at all general hospital public entrances

This bill requires all general hospitals to install metal detectors at every public entrance as part of their workplace violence safety and security plans. The law mandates that hospitals develop and regularly update comprehensive security measures, which can include employee training, increased staffing, and various engineering controls like barriers and lighting systems. Hospitals must share detailed summaries of their security plans with employees and union representatives, while also providing information on how to report workplace violence incidents. The legislation takes effect immediately, aligning with the implementation timeline of related workplace violence assessment laws.
