AI Summary
This bill requires healthcare employers to develop and implement programs to prevent workplace violence. It mandates that healthcare employers conduct annual risk assessments, create written violence prevention plans, and designate a senior manager to oversee an in-house crisis response team for employee-victims of workplace violence. The bill also provides up to 7 days of paid leave for healthcare employees who are victims of assault or assault and battery in the line of duty, and prohibits employers from taking negative action against employees for taking such leave. The bill empowers the Attorney General to enforce these provisions and seek injunctive relief.
