AI Summary
This bill aims to establish uniform standards regarding COVID-19 restrictions in Tennessee. It requires hospitals, nursing homes, hospice facilities, adult care homes, and assisted-living facilities to allow at least one visitor for patients/residents during a declared disaster or public health emergency, subject to the facility's normal visitation policy. The bill specifies visitation rights for minors, adults, and residents, and prohibits facilities from requiring patients to waive these rights. The bill also authorizes the Departments of Health and Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services to promulgate rules to implement the act, and includes a severability clause to preserve the validity of the remaining provisions if any part is found unconstitutional.
