AI Summary
This bill aims to allow long-term care facility residents to designate "essential support persons" who can visit them despite other visitation restrictions. It also requires the Commissioner of Public Health to establish a statewide visitation policy for long-term care facilities that incorporates residents' needs for essential support, including during public health emergencies. The bill expands the responsibilities of the State Ombudsman to address the impact of socialization, visitation, and the role of essential support persons on residents' health, safety, and well-being.
