Bill > AB50

This bill establishes a framework for counties to create electronic databases for managing information about victims of mass casualty incidents. The bill allows county commissioners to establish an electronic database to coordinate reunification, identification, and long-term support services for mass casualty incident victims. Hospitals and emergency medical centers in counties with such databases would be required to report specific victim information, including name, date of birth, and identifying characteristics, within 24 hours of receiving a patient. The database would be strictly confidential, with security measures to protect personal information, and information would be deleted after victims are identified and reunified, except for those who authorize continued storage for long-term support services. The bill provides immunity from civil liability for counties, hospitals, and their employees who participate in good faith, and ensures that victims are informed about potential long-term support services. Importantly, hospitals must include a unique identifier in medical records for mass casualty incident victims and ask if they want to receive ongoing support services. The bill defines "long-term support services" as including financial aid, compensation, medical, and psychological services provided in a trauma-informed manner. The goal is to create a systematic, compassionate approach to helping victims in the aftermath of a mass casualty event.
