An Act amending the act of July 19, 1979 (P.L.130, No.48), known as the Health Care Facilities Act, in licensing of health care facilities, providing for firearms policy.
HB 1064 amends Pennsylvania's Health Care Facilities Act to require all health care facilities - including hospitals, clinics, mental health centers, urgent care centers, and dental offices - to establish and publicly share written policies regarding firearms on their premises. The bill mandates that facilities either permit firearms with safety procedures (e.g., storage guidelines) or outline specific steps for staff if someone enters with a firearm. These policies must address both permitted and prohibited firearm scenarios, applying to all locations providing medical services as defined by Pennsylvania law. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
