MODERATE

This bill replaces an existing requirement for hospitals to report poison cases with a new, standalone section dedicated specifically to poisoning reporting. The change clarifies the language to 'cases of poisonings' and explicitly authorizes the health department to set specific reporting methods and timeframes through regulation.

The bill's scope shifted from amending an existing section (2805-l) to creating a new, distinct section (2803-cc) within the Public Health Law, though the core obligation for hospitals remains similar.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new section 2803-cc that mandates hospitals report every case of poisoning to the regional poison control center.

Changed the reporting language from 'cases of poisoning' to 'cases of poisonings' for clarity.

Added explicit authority for the health department to specify the manner and time periods for reporting via regulation.

TECHNICAL

Moved the reporting requirement from an amendment to Section 2805-l to a new, separate section 2803-cc.
