AI Summary
This bill would require general acute care hospitals in California to include testing for fentanyl in any urine drug screenings they conduct to assist in diagnosing a patient's condition. The bill defines "urine drug screening" as a chemical analysis to test for the presence of multiple drugs, including cocaine, opioids, and phencyclidine. The requirement would be in effect until January 1, 2028. The bill also states that no reimbursement is required for this new requirement, as it creates a new crime or infraction.
