Provides an exception to hospital visitation rules for members of the clergy

This bill requires hospitals to permit visitation by clergy members from a patient's established religious congregation, provided the patient (or their legal representative) requests it and the visit aligns with hospital safety and treatment protocols. Key provisions include allowing clergy to count toward a hospital's visitor limit (with a one-hour time limit) and permitting immediate visitation during end-of-life or life-threatening emergencies. It directly affects patients, hospitals, and clergy by clarifying visitation rights without overriding existing safety restrictions in units like burn wards or disease isolation areas. The bill does not compel hospitals to allow clergy if safety risks exist, nor does it require clergy to provide visitation.
