AI Summary
This bill establishes violence prevention committees in healthcare facilities to develop and maintain detailed workplace violence prevention plans. The committees must conduct annual risk assessments, review incidents of workplace violence, and provide employee training. The bill also requires healthcare facilities to report incidents of workplace violence to the committees within 72 hours and prohibits retaliation against employees who report such incidents. The Department of Labor and Industry is granted the authority to levy administrative fines and orders for violations of the act, and healthcare facilities can be enjoined by the court for failing to implement the committee's recommendations. The bill also specifies that it does not supersede or prevent greater protections in existing or future collective bargaining agreements.
